Xbox and Microsoft fans should be very excited for what is to come. New games and consoles are about to rain down on gamers. And the rain could start with a new Xbox console. The wait to find out whether or not Microsoft will announce a new console next month is slowly killing Xbox fans around the world. The Xbox One and PS4 have had an interesting year so far. Both consoles have been highly celebrated. The competition between the consoles continues between Sony and Microsoft. And news could be announced soon. Rumors of a PS4.5 have been circulating. So what's in store for the One, loyalists? Are they going to throw some new hardware at us?
There will be no Xbox 1.5
Unlike the iPhone 7, Microsoft plans to bring a real upgrade to the masses. There will be no Xbox 1.5. There will be no Xbox SE or Plus. The company is adamant about dropping new updates on its fans. It's urging them to want the next generation, like a '90s crack rock.
The Two, or maybe a One Slim
Microsoft certainly isn't going to go the way of Sony and Apple. They are thinking big and have ambitions to take over the market. There are rumors of a Two or a One Slim. This is good news. The PS4 is like Brad Pitt in Fight Club. And the One is like any other big movie star who keeps making movies. Maybe it will be a combination, like an Xbox Two Slim.
Merging the next console with Windows
Microsoft said the company will continue to merge the console with Windows as the design progresses. This could make the next generation quite amazing. It could allow for hardware liposuction while ripping PS4 sales away from Sony.
Will it have backwards compatibility?
Backward compatibility and multi-disk support that the One currently offers may not be part of the plans. This was an important announcement for One fans who also like to play 360 games. If Microsoft's design team doesn't take this into account, the next generation console could be in trouble.
Microsoft needs to be amazing
Xbox fans should be happy. They know that the next console will have to be amazing to compete with the PS4.5 or PS4 Neo. The upgrades and the new design of the console have to be amazing to make fans happy and spend their money.
