On the back of previous news that Phil Spencer was considering ‘upgrades' for the Xbox console, a new report is saying that Microsoft actually has two new Xbox One consoles in development at the moment. The first one is set to be a slim version of the Xbox One hardware we currently have, with a reveal pencilled in for E3 this year. The second console on the other hand will be coming out in 2017, featuring upgraded internals.
The Xbox One slim news comes from The Verge, who spoke with their own Microsoft sources, who claim that the cut-down console will launch at E3 and be around 40 percent smaller.
Then, according to Kotaku, who also broke quite a bit of news about the PS4 Neo, Microsoft is also planning an upgraded hardware version of the Xbox One for release next year. This Xbox is being developed under the codename ‘Scorpio' and will feature a more powerful GPU that will be “technically capable of supporting the Oculus Rift”. It will also come with a 2TB hard drive, which seems like a necessary upgrade as 500GB isn't going to cut it for a digital game library.
The final thing to come from these reports is that apparently Microsoft might bring the Xbox interface to Windows 10, with a plan to make all future ‘flagship titles' cross-platform between Xbox and PC. This is known as ‘Project Helix'.

KitGuru Says: Lots of early information here, some of which may not be entirely accurate so take it with a pinch of salt. However, it wouldn't be too surprising for Microsoft to release an upgraded Xbox One next year to combat the PS4 Neo.
Don’t buy – it is a big scam! Do not buy – better get yourself a PC. Microsoft is scamming you!
You are aware this article (and the news therein) is aimed at people who may have a PC but don’t play games on it? Some folks aren’t playing a game for the image quality if they are getting a console, how is that bad? You need to accept a simple fact: Many folks that get consoles already have a PC, maybe it is a laptop with an IGP, but they aren’t going to go out of their way to buy a desktop tower just to play games on it.
Just because you don’t agree doesn’t make it a scam, it has a place, and any company would be stupid to ignore them with the expectation that customers go big or go home.
But even so £400 could get you a half decent graphics card and a controller so they can play games, not necesarilly for the graphics, on a machine they already own and moreover don’t have to pay to play with other people which saves money in the long term

Yup. Also, if they got a macbook, use external GPU, install windows 7/10 on the macbook, and play games.
I really hate the fact that people buy those weak macbooks and then they go “Oh i got no more money so let’s buy a console”. When somebody from the PC community, like me, throws an exclusive game at them, mac users would go – “I spent freaking $2000+ for this macbook and that console that is so crap and now i got no $$$ to buy PC and play this game and I pay subscription to Sony/MS, i buy cigarettes …blah blah blah … 🙁 im gonna have to wait / ask my parents for more pocket money.”
Lots of my friends said something of those lines after I told them what they’ve done, I couldn’t feel bad for them, they were all so frowned to discover they spent more than I did for my gaming PC.
