The article said it's 2 consoles,set top box and gaming console
Maybe it doesn't make sense but don't ask me,it's from the article,so ask the writer


It'll be more like two skus... aka "entertainment" and "pro" versions with slightly different layouts.

i.e. same box/same raw power, but one with a remote  or kinect1 and other with a gaming controller and kinect2... different storage options... etc.

No. One of them will be cheap, and low power. Probably won't have a disc drive either.

The point of the set-top box SKU is entertainment and media apps, not full-blown games. That's what the "Pro" version is for. I'm assuming the set-top box version won't be sold in stores, only through cable companies.

Many people don't want/need another set top box, so there is no point in including the technology inside the "pro" version. Would be stupid to force technology on people, it's always good to give people options.
