- Announce a new Xbox similar to the Steam box (2 models with and without disk drives)
- MS will drop the Xbox One Name on it's own (Edit: To clear this up I don't think they drop the Xbox One itself but start to phase out the Xbox One name and support the Xbox One for the next few year. The new box could be something like "Windows Xbox One". The following updated models could be something like "Windows Xbox One -add a word/version here-" Over time they will drop the "One" from the name as the transition fully to PC and drop support for Xbox One).
- Will play PC and XB1 games
- Upgraded versions will roll out as the years go by
- Newer games will still play on older models but at a lower spec (similar to PC)
It's clear that MS want to go the PC route but also keep hold of Xbox live, this will allow them to do that.
MS seem really keen to get rid of XB1s in the channels, you may think it's to make way for a slim model but it seems far to aggressive. Are they clearing the "old" Xbox's to go a completely new direction?
Whatya think?!?
