Rumour: Xbox One mini to launch in October. To drop the blu-ray drive?

What makes me doubt about the X1 mini is the size they claim for that new version.

The BR drive doesn't take that much space, and the hard drive and the cooler for the APU (probably still produced at the same 28nm) will still take too much room to make it 2/3 smaller.

This, a lot of people seem to think you can make a console smaller on a whim. PS4 Slim and XBOne Slim will launch late next year. Possibly not even until 2017

Indeed.

They'll probably wait until the 16nm process is mature enough, and then launch the big revisions like XboxOne Mini or PS4 Slim or whatever they are called. So end of 2016 or 2017.
