There could be two new Xbox's heading to stores soon.

The Xbox from Microsoft has been a world leader in gaming software. But with the release of the Xbox One and PS4 consoles, Microsoft has lagged behind. According to leaked information on the Kotaku gaming website, this could be set to change. It has been said by anonymous sources that two new Xbox Ones are set to be released. One is described as a smaller more slim version with less cost. While the second console code named “Scorpio”, set to release in 2017, could possibly be the long anticipated joining of the Oculus Rift VR headset and Xbox One console. This console is thought to be trying to combat Sony’s own VR headset and system. To run this the console will require about 2TB(terabytes) of storage, four times the current amount! Also it will need a lot more processing power if it hopes to achieve such a feat. More information on this is expected to be unveiled at E3(Electronic Entertainment Expo), an annual gaming and electronics show in Los Angeles between the 14-16 of June. It has also been stated that they might be moving towards an approach similar to that of the iPhone. Making an annual update to specs and graphics of the console gradually as well as the ability to play more advanced games. We will just have to wait and see what this tech giant has in store for one of it’s most widely known creations. 
I chose this article because I frequent the online servers of the Xbox One. I play a lot and to see something such as the Oculus Rift join the Console would just be incredible. I found that the website Kotaku, which has released very reliable information before, has talked about these new consoles. It’s so fascinating to see how Microsoft is still innovating on a very advanced console. They have push the boundaries of console limits and now they will be pushing them even farther.
