I know! Just wondering if he's on a wind up. English humour and all that.

MS would be stupid to let Sony bring out an even more powerful console which will run games much better than the Xbox One and not bring out a revised version themselves.
Put it this way, if Sony release a new console which looks extremely good graphically, and Microsoft do nothing, then I will be buying a PS4k and ditching my Xbox One.
I just don't see Microsoft allowing this to happen. It really wouldn't surprise me is Microsoft bring out a more powerful console than the PS4K, and a slim line model.
Agreed.
I will be so disappointed if the reveal is just a smaller Xbox One.
These consoles are under-powered as it is....

So you wanna have MS split the market after 3 years and expect all One owners to upgrade? The idea of MS and Sony releasing more powerful hardware right now is very dangerous to their market. It could backfire. I for one will not buy either if they do it. I barely even touch my PS4 now.
I can't see them announcing anything more than an xbox slim this year given that its not even been two and a half years since the xbox one was released.
Microsoft revealed the xbox one just before E3 and then released in November of that year, they can't be releasing a new higher spec xbox one this year, and therefore it has to just be a slim.
If they do have a new machine coming then its E3 next year at the bare minimum.

Apparently there is a leaked picture of the "Xbox Slim" .
It doesn't show the case really but you can at least gather it's general size

This thought seems overly prevalent here. I don't think people understand that we are actually OVERDUE for a new generation. A new gen should have released in 2015. People seem to get confused by the fact that MS and Sony milked the hell out of last generation.
lol... that's the Wifi chip photo I discovered yesterday in the ANATEL filings. At least the original brazilian source is naming this thread as their source.
Lol that's not how it works....
What kind of console would we have in 2010?
40nm, 2GB RAM? Sounds really underwhelming...
Also, don't forget that the PS3 was released in 2007 in Europe and it wasn't until the Slim revision that it gained significant momentum.
Klepeks report on the PS4K explicitly mentions Microsoft doing the same thing.

www.xboxevent.com
MS used this page back in 2013 for the Xbox One reveal event. (It was basically the page for invited press to confirm they are attending)
From later 2013 until yesterday the site redirected to Xbox.com but now the redirect was removed. I will keep an eye on it and if they are really releasing a new Xbox this year, they will probably announce it on a dedicated HW event.
Good catch!
Awesome find. I've been saying for awhile now that this needs to be announced at its own even where they can have the spotlight on their message of how their new console cycle is going to work. Details can easily be lost at E3, and they need to be as clear as possible. I could see them announcing a slim XBO at the same event, just so they can focus on games at E3.www.xboxevent.com

Good catch indeed. How does one catch something like this? Randomly checking old websites, hardly?
Yes. That's exactly how I did it. I discovered the page in early 2013 way before the event was announced and from the moment rumors about a new Xbox appeared I checked the page on a daily basis.
You're on fire. I don't how you think to even remember to check things like this.www.xboxevent.com

Would you guys be cool with a beefy spec Xbox 1.5 that comes with an elite controller for $500 and a standard Xbone slim without a disc drive, and standard controller, for say $250?
Yup that's short, I need 8m for my home cinema. Only extension options involve the pc kinect adapter, an active usb cable, and lots of $.Very short? The cable is 9 feet long.
Ekim is a wizard confirmed
I'm more expecting a PS4.5 this year, with MS going the whole hog and releasing a much more powerful Xbox Two a year later.
I think they will release a Slim console this year, watch if it helps in any way with their sales numbers and if it does not they will release the successor in early 2018.

One dumb thing MS keeps doing is going first. Sony always watches what MS does and then reacts to it with their announcements and press conferences based on the public reception. If I was MS I would basically announce nothing until Sony does. Doesn't Sony always present after MS at E3? Does MS always go first by choice? I don't see any benefit to doing so.
I'd wait for Sony to announce the 4K, and then see if a shitstorm erupts or not. Even if MS decides to go forward with matching them, it's good to let Sony bear the brunt of the ill will for a few days so that when MS does announce it will trigger the "grudging acceptance" phase of iterative hardware instead of the initial shock.
SOny basically using the used game thing to make their E3 seems 3x better...Imagine that Sony conference without the MS mistake?

I looked for it in the PS4K thread but couldn't find it. What exactly did you mean?
That Xboxevent site change is interesting though. Now I wonder if Phil Spencer was lying when he said they weren't doing a.5 or if it turns out to be a much much more powerful system. Simply can't only be about a better WiFi anymore though.
In the intitial talk he gave he was quoted as talking about new hardware capability 'during a generation' , which sort of contradicts something that is classed a generational leap, so I am not sure what is going on. I did consider they could make some sort of gap bridging system like a laptop with an Xbone compatible APU, if such a thing was possible.
im just wondering if current xbone games would work on the supposed new system ...

Please tell me you don't actually think this is what happens.... Huge Corporations come prepared and have their e3 announcements planned ahead of time. No one is sitting around waiting to see what the other does.....yes Sony may have added some color with that quick sharing video they did with shu and boyes last minute during e3 2013 to drive the point home regarding drm but you don't make huge decisions like pricing etc... on the fly like that....One dumb thing MS keeps doing is going first.

Seems to be a very safe expectation given the risk that comes with simply introducing a new model so relatively soon after the last. Win10 being the backbone of the Xbox OS would seem to guarantee it.
If this is real, why wouldn't Xbox Two be a safe name to communicate a full step up for a new unit? They wouldn't have to target a budget-conscious market as Xbox One and Xbox 360 already can and does...especially if the new system is targeted for Oculus compatibility.
