Thurrott.com (Specially Brad Sams) have a live-stream up that is going to cover some information relating to "Xbox 1, Xbox 2, Xbox E3". Currently just going over the Windows phone news but should be getting to the relevant Xbox information soon. Figured that due to the source (he called the Xbox Elite controller) it warranted a thread - could still turn out to be nothing though so keep that in mind.

1. "Xbox Mini is Real"
2. Chromecast style "Super-Streamer" Xbox. (~$99)
3. Second Xbox streaming device (~$150 -> ~$175): a bit bigger than the chromecast-like device but "not an Xbox One crammed into a tiny box". This is more of a replacement for those who would buy 360 as a media box in 2015. He thinks this device will leverage the Windows Store to play "lightweight" games. Things like Hitman: Go rather than Rise of the Tomb Raider.
4. Details get fuzzy at this point for Brad. Does not think MS will go for 4K gaming yet. Thinks the next system will be more of an iterative step.
5. Xbox becoming a platform. MS playing around with bringing the Xbox interface to PC (Redstone 2 related). Think Media Center for games. Speculation: "think further down the road - what if Xbox becomes software?"
6. Microsoft focused on "extensible" systems. It's the "magic" word in Microsoft right now.
7. Brad thinks MS will do something "Big" for the next Xbox in 2017. Thinks the Eurogamer article is "onto something" but thinks they have their wires crossed in some respects. MS doing "crazy" stuff. VR may play a part.
8. MS knows gaming is the "bread-and-butter" for Xbox and will show that at E3 but still want to "attack the living-room" and appeal to cord-cutters. Xbox One is currently too expensive/big for that audience.
9. Updated controller that will look mostly the same. Minor revision.
10. PC gaming big for Microsoft and E3 will reflect that. Look to see MS continue to try and bring Xbox and PC together.
11. Thinks we could see a upgrade (minor) to the current Xbox One but is fuzzy on that.
Update:
Did I listen to the same podcast as the rest of you?
He said
1) Xbox streaming stick, similar to a Chromecast
2) Xbox TV similar to a roku/apple TV NOT a XBO slim.
3) Xbox new box, VR enabled, revealed spring 2017, based on new architecture
4) Xbox 1.5, 4k output revealed later this year
5) Xbox interface being worked on as a BPM for PC.
Nirolak's Note: He didn't say the Xbox 2 was 10 TFLOPs, to be clear.
Nirolak's Note 2: We're not 100% sure if the Xbox 1.5 is just an Xbox Slim type system called the Xbox Mini or an upgraded system.
Thought i'd conceptualize the hints from the stream to make them a bit easier to digest

All I can say is that there will be Xbox hardware that's 40% smaller than the current one.
