What fiasco, they are still ahead of the 360 and selling millions of consoles.
No matter how you spin it it is illogical to release a new console in 2017, let alone announce it NOW effectively killing profits and revenue.
Man... I'm going to be disappointed if the two rumoured devices for E3 really ends up being Xbox TV and Xbox TV 1.5. I was hoping for Xbox One slim.
Why would someone be interested in X1.5 when X2 is coming next year?
Yup the more I think about it..it just makes no senseA new Xbox 1.5 this year then one year later, a new gen Xbox 2? That sounds like bullshit.
Just what they need. Water out the Xbox brand.
Can't wait for these devices to not be relevant in Europe.
A new Xbox 1.5 this year then one year later, a new gen Xbox 2? That sounds like bullshit.
And they are going to be too late to the party, people already have fire tv, apple tv, a smart tv that does everything already. Is the market opening there?

Sounds like the PS4 Neo leak caught MS off guard (once again) is they really not gonna launch this year when Sony is.
A one year head start is really gonna give Sony the edge much like the 360 last gen.
Rest of the stuff sounds like potential plan Bs in case MS leaves the console industry.
They got 360 BC working on XB1, I don't think you have to worry about BC. They'll find a way to make it work no matter what they do. UWP might help here too, since it scales to all different devices. Their stance and vision is clear at this point, and BC is a huge part of that.
Why? I'm puzzled at the business decisions here. It appears they may be making the same mistake here as they did with the mobile phones.
From holiday to spring is not a year. 6 or 7 months most likely.

UWP is not the answer to BC. Most XB1 games are not UWP games.

Wait are you telling me their source is someone as biased as misterXmedia ?The guy who still thinks that the Xbox One is 2 times as powerful as a ps4, the same guy ?
I don't know why people are so shocked at the 10tflop number. The next step for console gaming is going to be 4K. Running next gen games consistently in 4K30-60fps will absolutely require something in the neighborhood of 10tlfops. Possibly even more.
A new console by the end of 2017 with a 10tflop gpu going for about 400-500$ sounds about right.
10 teraflops would be an insane upgrade.
That's ~10x the performance of current gen.
I think so. Cord cutters are a growing demographic. Got my parents a Kindle Fire Stick the other day and loved it. Now give me one of those which runs all my Windows 10 apps *and* lets me stream my XBox and PC - including the upcoming DVR functionality - and I'm very interested.
I still *think* he is wrong. Here is my interpretation on everything that was rumored and found (FCC and Anatel stuff):
- the Nano stick thing is probably true
- the Lunchbox sized device IS in fact the Xbox One Slim with full gaming capability
- He confused the Xbox 1.5 with this Xbox One Slim
So 2 new devices this year and the big upgrade next year.
This honestly makes more sense. It's a bit too soon for an actual Xbox 2.I still *think* he is wrong. Here is my interpretation on everything that was rumored and found (FCC and Anatel stuff):

All that he has said will be announced is the MS version of Amazon fire TV, one that will probably play xbox live arcade games.
And they are going to be too late to the party, people already have fire tv, apple tv, a smart tv that does everything already. Is the market opening there?
Man it really seems like Microsoft has fallen off. Next year? Do they not realize the xb1 sucks? Why are their pants down.
Where did the 10TFLOP rumor come from ?
http://xrays-insider.blogspot.de/2016/05/insider-report-il-fallimento.html"I've got to read some slides from Microsoft and AMD about the new Xbox, and it is in effect a new model, not a remake of One. They should announce this year at a separate event from E3 2016, but still a few days before the fair. the announcement will be made this year but the release of the Xbox next is not expected before next spring, to read the roadmap. it will be open to change hardware, I did not understand if via upgrade or if they spoke of changes that will operate on the fly, before the release. it will be extremely powerful from the start, i think 5-6 times PS4 Neo, then something in the order of over 10 TFLOPS or so. "
"I can guarantee that the new Xbox One is in pre-production, AMD has signed three new agreements for this year and one last year. What the past year concerned the tax for the Slim model of One SoC, what this year covers three big industry, Microsoft including for the new console. Four agreements, three only for this 2016 ".
"One was a definite step forward as chipset, still it has not been exploited even at 80% and there are still room for improvement to get the most from the current consoles, but talking with the Xbox team developers has noticed have focused too much on innovation and less on strength, then i can tell you even now that will be a cross between one and a stark PC, if we count the numbers. i mean that everything will be balanced, as the current One, but each element will be provided with great power starting from the system to the integrated HBM DDR4 memory in GPU. There will be the exhaust chip, but for the lazy dev you can also bet on the computational power without incurring large compromises, the the opposite situation to that of One. Panos Panay is overseeing the project and aesthetics of the console, I think it will be amazing. "
"The chip is based on Arctic Island family of AMD's 14-nanometer FinFET or Polaris-11 Vega, GCN 4.0 in production for this summer, will be custom-class, x86-x64 and always backward compatible with either 360 with One, in fact, the operating system will always be virtualized; Win10 Redstone 2 is the core of the operating system of choice. it will be sold at a loss, these two years are working, almost immediately after the arrival of One ".
"I've heard that Spencer and the entire team wants to leave as soon as possible for the one spot he had with the old leadership, as if to mean a" start from here like a zero year for us and for Xbox. "They were not kidding, from which even the decision to end the production of Xbox 360 to focus on the new model. "
Brad's explanation of the device didn't make it sound like it is going to be a redesigned XBO, though. It sounded more app centric to me.That "TV box" could very well be the redesigned Xbox One

Can I stream my XBO to my TV upstairs with this theoretical XB Stick? If so, I will buy it as it has an USP.
So basically this E3 could be titled "Blowing up the generational model" ?...
Why is it - it was working fine for PS4 this generation...It's all about creating an ecosystem, rather than hardware generations. Starting from scratch every generation is a ludicrous idea in this day and age.
Interested to see what ideas Microsoft has. Sounds like they have quite a few devices planned.
Edit: Also can't believe the 10TF rumor actually gained some traction.
