eh.... idk...
It is grossly huge when compared to the two other current gen consoles.
Yep. Console size doesn't mean a damn thing for most people, as it gets put on a shelf and is only moved a handful of times the entire generation. Noise however, can effect every single play session, and it's why I almost never use my PS4 anymore. If MS makes a smaller console with 14nm, they better make sure to maintain the silence of the box.But silence is golden...
That and the PS4 is a proper minger.
An Xbox One revision at this point makes an incredible amount of sense. The console currently available was designed for a totally different skillset which, although quickly abandoned before/after launch, is still hampering Microsofts market share and brand image.
A new xbox 1.5/slim/whatever is needed for a multitude of reasons. To name a few:
1. A fresh, new start. New marketing, games and features that showcase Microsoft is taking the console in a new direction.
2. Remove redundant features like HDMI in, maybe even the Kinect port.
3. Implement a slimmer, more cost effective design.
4. Upgrade CPU, GPU to improve better gaming performance. At least 100% capable of 1080p, 60fps. Let alone 4k. Average gamer cares about this more than you think.
5. Potentially make the NEW Xbox One Occulus Rift/Hololens etc. compatable right out of the box.
E3 2016 is shaping up to be a very important expo for the entire industry. Could very well illustrate where Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo plan to take gaming to in the next decade.
I'll be seriously disappointed if they get away from HDMI in. I don't want to go back to my piece of shit cable box UI.

Xbox Surface
Playing Xbox One&360 games and PC games compatible
Again, what about a revised Xbox would make the Surface name applicable? Where's the touch screen?
It doesn't make sense no. No need to come up with a new name scheme for something that is known all over the world. At least in the important markets like Brazil and US. EU doesn't matter in this regard.
Jokes aside, I think they should keep it simple. Name it either Xbox Two (if it's indeed a version 2), Xbox One Plus, Xbox One S or something like that.
For me a big part of it is that MS has shown that they give a shit about compatibility, and they are clearly working to make games work across a range of devices. Sony on the other hand has done nothing but move away from cross device compatibility. I also just trust MS more to get conpatibility right on the software end of things.
I fully welcome a new way of looking at console cycles, I just don't trust Sony to pull it off properly.
Another thing, according to the rumor current PS4 games won't look better on PS4K unless they are patched by the devs. For some reason when it comes to this I have more faith in MS pulling something off where games would perform better right off the bat.

I think currently released XBO games will need to be patched for any kind of improvement outside of maybe a more stable framerate in some games, but I think scalability will be built into UWP games going forward. I would think the combination of DX12 and UWP makes this a much more viable model for MS.Another thing, according to the rumor current PS4 games won't look better on PS4K unless they are patched by the devs. For some reason when it comes to this I have more faith in MS pulling something off where games would perform better right off the bat.
Of course most games would need to be patched. It's not like the old game knows to look more more power or something. Console games are designed for one specific power level, not to take advantage of variable configurations like PC.
If Sony and Microsoft could get developers to patch big games with improvements though, we'd really be in business.

Nice job FCC, state its 1682, actually 1683. Just looks like a chip or something? I'm confused to what the hell that is.ANATEL - the equivalent to the FCC in Brazil is not so strict when it comes to NDAs of Photos:
Note the different numbers in the document and photo.
Amen.
I don't mind a square box to go under my TV, but don't get funky with angles. Please no.

I've never had an issue with how the XB1 looks or it's size. It fit's nicely in my entertainment set-up, it matches the rest of my gear, it runs whisper quiet and never gets hot. I suspect that 90% of the people who poke fun at it, don't own one. Do you?
This is how it looks:

E3 it is then.
Here is where the original WiFi chip was positioned:
This is how it looks:
Compare to the new chip - the holes are different and thus support the idea of a new box.

So you think they will also release a new controller? Hm...

Is it wrong that my main concern was the off camera units on the lower half of that ruler? Those aren't inches! From googling it might be a Japanese Shaku ruler which are divided into units called Sun at 30.3mm
Fire TV kinda thing or a Steam Link like box?
