New Xbox Code-named ‘Scorpio’, Will Have More Powerful GPU, 4K Support
This is the code name for a 2017 iteration of the Xbox One which will have a more powerful GPU that can support Oculus Rift (whom Microsoft is pursuing a partnership with). This year will see the release of a compact Xbox One that could arrive in the fourth quarter. Three individuals speaking anonymously noted that they weren’t really meant to reveal Microsoft’s plans at this stage. Imagine that. Another source noted that the compact Xbox One would have a 2 TB hard disk.
As for Scorpio, development sources were concerned that even with a GPU upgrade for 4K resolution support, there’s currently no plan for an I/O transfer speed upgrade, which could lead to games having longer loading times due to the larger 4K assets.
Take this all with a grain of salt as usual but it should be interesting to see what Microsoft announces at E3 2016.

I just really want the next Xbox to be smaller than the One. Its such a hassle having the big Xbox One on my desk.

SwiftFriskyPanda so when the gtx 1080 can barely run stuff on 4k with over 30 fps all the time, how will these shitty consoles be able to even allow 15 fps?! after the release of the ps4 and xbox one I was so dissappointed with the hardware its a shame
It'll be 4k video playback. There is no way in the world the console will be able to play in native 4k.
Saying that, both Sony and Microsoft have to make the console "budget". Like say these companies packed these things full of really good hardware specs AND want to make a profit from each and every single one... No one would buy a console for over $/£500-600.

For sure, it should be interesting to see what Microsoft have in store for us. Even if they did bring out a better Xbox One, I wouldn't buy it - main reason... I like PC better now :0
