Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft squashes rumors of a cheaper, all-digital Xbox One

http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/03/microsoft-squashes-rumors-of-a-cheaper-all-digital-xbox-one/

 

Microsoft has no plans to build an Xbox One sans Blu-ray disc for $100 less than the current model, according to a tweet by Xbox chief Aaron Greenberg. The rumor floated up from the NeoGAF forums recently after Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) said that a white, employee-only version of the console could hit retail "waaaay in the future." When asked to confirm if a cheaper Xbox One with a 1TB drive was coming, Greenberg replied "no, you cannot believe everything you read on the internet."

Good Good.

Now just announce a cheaper one.



Of course they would say that cause they still want people to buy it right now.

Like they will never say the Halo coming is not Halo 5 , how many people wouldnt buy the console if they knew this ?



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

all i'm saying is, there are dozens of cases of price-drop rumors being "squashed" only to have a price drop announced within a week.


...whether true or not, this rumor won't be squashed by anything MS can say.

While I do not believe they would do that yet (the all digital); what you are saying makes a lot of sense sir, if it was true, I do not see why Microsoft would announce it now!



That's like when nintendo said " no new 3DS ! " then 3 month later came the 3DS XL

Combined with grumpy cat avatar your comment becomes more funny.



I still think an all digital console would be good for all three manufacturers (a little less for nintendo).



@ren I've been wondering what the chick in your gif is saying???
