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.
