Right. This is not a scoop. Just more vague rumors.

Yeah, just a tad....
It was as clear a fake as they get. To even mention this nonsense speaks for the kind of knowledge he has beyond this E3.
Probably with games.

All I can say is that there will be Xbox hardware that's 40% smaller than the current one.
He was absolutely concrete on that 4K media stick
So they're gonna announce a more powerful console at E3, even though it's not due out till next year?
RIP xbox sales then
Smaller or Slimmer? Both?

The streaming stuff was new & he seemed pretty solid on it.
Makes sense. Esp with the Surface team in charge. I figured this.
If the market it well, anything is possible. PlayStation TV was a failure because people expected more TV/apps rather than just a subset of VITA games.
If Xbox TV has UWA + Xbox Apps who knows
Yep, completely show-stopper.

Speculation, or are you an insider?
He's a pretty valid source at the same time though
I can't see why they'd release a slim around E3 and then a more powerful box next year. Everyone who'd buy the slim would just be annoyed that they spent money on a slim device when they could of bought the better one months after.
Username relevant.

So they are going to be offering some type of streaming service like PS Now via these sticks and probably stand alone apps. Liking the sound of the new Xbox arch, and I assume the Xbox app will evolve basically be Xbox on PC.
That seems like a lot of announcements, they gotta be pretty fucking clear with the messaging with these devices so people don't get confused....knowing MS they'll fuck it up (hopefully not).
Either way, ladies and gents....the industry standard of hardware for a new gen is certainly never gonne be the same.
Exciting.
Sure, but people have been talking about disc-less / streaming consoles for ages.
And Xbox as a software more or less already exists with the Xbox app on W10.
Maybe I'm just being negative but I heard nothing hype worthy in this podcast.
Is this Tom or just someone using Tom's avatar?
If yes, then Xbox Slim/TV is just 3 years delayed

A pair of "me too" streaming boxes where 50% of the apps don't work outside the US?
Not even a XBO slim?

Yeah, it's me
I haven't heard anything solid on an Xbox TV at E3, but I know they've had renewed interest in it after canceling it ahead of the Xbox One launch. It makes a lot of sense to do it at E3.
Welp, there it is.
So an Xbox Slim (same specs?), Xbox Chromecast/Fire, and an Xbox 2 next year...?
That makes sense to me.
I took it as they are streaming shows and such. Is it supposed to be game streaming?
