So another rumour has hit the web this week in relation to another new Xbox model in development at Microsoft. Originally reported by REDDIT user MSNerd the post stated that Microsoft are working on an ‘Xbox Lite’ that they hope to release during 2013.
This new system would be released before any of their next-generation offerings and be based on the current Xbox 360 system but in a much more stripped down form.
The post itself mentioned that this might be so stripped down that it would basically be an entertainment system without even the facility of a disk drive. Instead the system would be comparable to the Apple TV and have the ability to download current live apps and arcade game but that will also function with Kinect.
MSNerd also states that the system will cheaper to sell at around $100/£100 and be a competition item for the non gaming community.
Many of the bigger sites have contacted Microsoft for confirmation of their plans but have found their responses to be of the ‘no comment’ variety.
While this seems like a good market for Microsoft to branch in to the concept itself would need an original and unique selling point to breach the market in a constructive way. For now this is definitely rumour only but is one of the more likely possiblities as Microsoft have expressed their desires to expand their current horizons.So another rumour has hit the web this week in relation to another new Xbox model in development at Microsoft.
