Xbox Two 2015 release may not happen but that doesn't mean fans of the game console don't have something to look forward to from Microsoft this year. Because they have: an upgraded 1TB Xbox One is allegedly coming this June 23 or later.
Spanish online retailer Lamee posted an upgraded version of Xbox One with a whopping 1TB of internal storage for its pre-order campaign. The new 1TB Xbox One will be available in a bundle at a price of $500 sans the Kinect 2 sensors. Pre-orders will start on June 23, the same day that the 1TB Xbox One will be launched. The post, however, has been deleted.
This 1B Xbox One bundle is a timely upgrade, though it's not the first time Microsoft upgraded the game console, and one that helps users foresee the future game console in terms of storage including the Xbox Two. It could also be seen as a preparation for creating improved graphics since doing so would mean games will be occupying more storage space.
If Microsoft pushes through with its plan for a game-focused Xbox Two release, then this storage upgrade in the Xbox One is definitely telling something. Something like the next gen console will be a game-focused console with higher spec parts like its predecessor. This goes without saying that Microsoft will not venture into acquiring exclusive game copyrights like Mojang over the coming years.
In terms of hardware, the Xbox Two game console could have additional accessories for its upcoming release. These could include the VR technology (which Microsoft has been rumored to be developing) and other stuff in addition to Kinect. As a distinct asset to the console, Kinect could also have some cool apps and games designed for it. That isn't really surprising since the Xbox One specifically support expansion of that sort.
So will Xbox Two release push through this year? With subsequent evolutions falling into place and the console's rising sales, "Microsoft couldn't be in a better position to make the next console its most considered launch yet." We just might have to wait for another seven years, Tech Radar says.
