Microsoft is preparing another "media version" of the Xbox One?

When Microsoft first announced a new generation Xbox One game console, the company announced that their new home console would offer customers not only support for a new generation of games, but also extensive entertainment opportunities, which in most cases are more inherent in an entertainment media center. And the other day on the Web there were rumors that the Redmond company is quite possible to release another version of the Xbox One - fully tied to entertainment features.

Recall that the release of the new Xbox One will be held this week on November 22. Its main competitor PlayStation 4 from the Japanese company Sony has already gone on sale last week and even managed to disperse with a circulation of 1 million consoles in the first 24 hours.

News that Microsoft plans to release another Xbox One, which in turn will not be intended for games at all, but will offer an exceptionally wide range of entertainment digital features (music, movies, support for streaming video, etc.) came from Paul Turoota , one of the editors of the portal Winsupersite.com.

Turot believes that the new "entertainment" version of the Xbox One will cost less than the "full-fledged" Xbox One, and in fact the device is already ready, but Microsoft decided not to release it yet. The reason why the company does not yet want to release an Xbox One Extender is because Microsoft is worried about selling a “full-fledged” version, the lion's share of which can be consumed by an extender.

Xbox One in the same US will be sold for 499 dollars. Turot expects that the “entertaining” version of the console will cost less money, but does not supplement this information with other details.

By the way, the practice of releasing “trimmed” versions of game consoles for companies is no longer new. The same Nintendo has released a miniature version of its Wii prefix - the Wii mini, - which does not have Internet support. The console is cheaper, but you can't play with friends on the web.
