It will be around the £100/$100 mark. After this ‘Xbox Lite’ is out in the shops we’ll see ”a true successor to the 360.” Details are ”are very hazy,” they say but it’ll be for core gamers.
It seems to have links with another rumoured internal project at Microsoft called Xbox Loop, which is said to be a smaller Kinect-orientated device running Windows 9.
”At some point after” the Xbox Lite, ”we’ll see a Xbox Next, a true successor to the 360,” writes leaker MS Nerd. ”Details about it are very hazy, except that, like the 360, it will do games for core-audiences and the same media apps as the other device, also with Kinect.” Microsoft has said E3 will hold no Xbox successor announcements.
”It will be cheaper than the 360, further enabling Kinect adoption. And it will be far smaller than the 360. It will also demonstrate how Windows Phone could possible implement Win9’s dev platform on the lower end,” reported the same source last year. It was speculated that the new Xbox would be out in 2013, but it seems very unlikely.
