Does Xbox One S count?

You could just get a Windows phone.

Yeah, I'd buy an Xbox Classic/Mini.

It would be interesting, maybe in the future. But for now, Microsoft is more focus on other endeavours.

I may be wrong but every mini console has been 4th gen gaming or earlier. PS1 was fifth gen and those games look horrible now. Never should have been released as a mini.

A huge driver for these mini consoles is the nostalgia that goes along with the value. With the original Xbox, I just don't think enough people have that nostalgia factor for it to be a success.

Totally useless, better work to put all their games available all the time anywhere. Whether on xbox, pc or xcloud.

Shrinking the OG XBOX would get you a console the size of a PS2, so that might be the problem.

Definitely. The Xbox would hugely benefit from a mini console making its games more widely available. The system has a load of unappreciated gems that would be great to see highlighted on a mini console.

That said, there are some potential drawbacks to such a mini console. For one, it’ll require more powerful hardware to emulate well than other mini consoles, and it’s controller is more complex. Combined with its DVD-sized games, and this thing WILL probably need to be more expensive than other mini consoles. But I do hope we eventually get 6th gen mini consoles, especially as they all begin to turn 20 years old.

They would be cautious after what happened with Sony.

The polygon-based games without pre-rendered or 2d backgrounds are profiting immensely from higher resolutions. So why should I want to play original Xbox games in 480p when I can play them in 4K on an Xbox One X or Xbox Scarlett?
