In reply to Vance. Not to mention ripping off the work of thegamescabin without giving credit...

If they can maintain the XB1’s quiet and cool status, I’m good with them scaling down. My XB1 runs a minimum of 6 hours a day, every single day and it never gets hot or make any noise. And I don’t mean the tv sound drowns it out; I can mute it and still not hear the system running. I prefer cool and quiet to small. Its not like the size is an inconvenience for me.

From what sony and ms announced prior it took 5 years to develop new consoles so odds are we will see people starting to get hired to work on the next generation now.

Both companies have claimed that they don’t see the ps4 / xb1 gen lasting as long as the ps3 and 360 gen did.

It’s the Xbox Two, MS knows all to well what the Xbox One has become. Plus you don’t have to hire new electrical enigeers for a die shrink as the circuitry remains the same if it were for an Xbox One slim. The system engineer requiring to maintain multiple products means that they are going to tier their hardware. This is for a new architecture that will remain compatible with the Xbox One software.
It’s basically all PC architecture running Windows for them, so this isn’t far fetched.

I agree Vance. Shrinking the APU die down to 20 nm doesn’t mean the systems case will be shrunk or changed. They would save money with a die shrink once the process has been refined allowing them to make more profit. The 360 had 2 die shrinks and was changed to an APU without any change to the actual case.

it could simply mean they’re working on a new inhouse peripheral. gamingbolt/ravi Sinha I think you are reaching, trying to find a reason for these new xbox division job ads. this is the second or 3rd posting about Microsoft making an Xbox One Slim. but I think this article took the cake when he went as far as saying Microsoft did the same wit the xbox 360 slim by hiring hardware engineers.
well if I remember correctly the xbox 360 slim was announced in 2010 the Kinect 1 was also released in 2010
