The Microsoft company is preparing at least two new models of the Xbox console to be launched in the coming years, what is certain is that for this year 2016, the Redmond company would pose a smaller and cheaper Xbox One version, and for 2017, a new more powerful model of Xbox.

Scorpio would be the name of the new model of the Xbox planned for the year 2017, and that its most striking features would have a more powerful GPU, and it would be technically capable of handling, and support for the virtual reality glasses Oculus Rift. These same sources were consulted by Kotaku, that claim to be in possession of information that present a possible strategy for the Microsoft company to partner with the face Oculus device compatibility with the Xbox consoles plus the PC.

If these capabilities prove to be true, the new console would be able to handle 4K thanks to the new graphics, but also it have right now a ratio of reading, the transfer of information and similar to the Xbox One writing, but until we have more details, it is not possible to define which of the two characteristics will prevail.

In any case, the Scorpio project would be developing, and the technical level hardware features would not be final, and simply, it would have presented some developers and publishers.

As for the new version of the current Xbox One, that come this year and offer a 2 TB of hard drive capacity, a tighter model that you can buy now and a smaller price. According to one source, the Microsoft company will present this slim version of Xbox One within the next E3.
According to these details, it seems that the new mandate of the Microsoft company is that the future games of the company, including the flagship saga Xbox, Halo, end up coming out on both platforms to enhance the unit. Interestingly, one of the first games to be a bulwark of this new business policy, Fable Legends, was canceled last month.

The company will also seek to enhance the hardware, the reviews instead of the usual five year cycles. The new incremental model will provide more frequent updates and constant machines, offering the consumers different machines with different technical characteristics from time to time. Yes, the games would always be compatibles along these future and hypothetical Xbox and Windows 10 devices.

This is consistent with the statements of Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division, who in early March spoke about the outdated model of the console, opening the door to revisions of the machine in the future. A few days later, before the stir caused among the critics and the players, Phil Spencer qualified his statements.

It’s not the first rumor we see about it. A few days ago, it came the name Xbox Next in the curriculum developer interfaces. This move by the Microsoft company could go in line with the hypothetical strategy of the Sony company, which is preparing a PlayStation 4 NEO with better technical skills.
