An anonymous poster on NeoGAF dropped a ton of leaks on the forum a couple days ago, and plenty are juicy. The Verge was able to confirm a couple of them with Microsoft, one being that the sleek white model is coming this year. It was previously only available to employees before the release. Additionally, the first big update for the console is coming in March to deal with system fixes and issues with Xbox Live.
But who needs truth when we have RUMORS. Speculation ahoy!!
The poster, "ntkrnl," said that the white console would be releasing with a 1TB drive along with Sunset Overdrive in October, and that there would be a version off the console without a Blu-ray drive and with a Bluetooth adapter, running for $399. The Verge was again able to confirm that Microsoft was testing a disc-less One, but was unsure if it would see release to market.
The poster also mentioned a release time for a new Forza Horizon, around September, and said that Quantum Break would hit shelves during the Holiday season. The Halo 2 Anniversary Edition is said to come out November 11th, and have a beta key for Halo 5 with other goodies in the collector's edition. Also, Platinum Games is supposedly working on something called Project Nagano set for 2016, and news about Crackdown 3 is said to come to E3 later this year.
Do what you always do with rumors - grains of salt. Lots of them. Microsoft as confirmed only two of the rumors, and while this guy says he works for the company, I think it's best not to get a lot of hopes up. Still, if true, this is some exciting stuff to come from the company and could help them catch up to Sony. There's more on the forum including a Titanfall-designed console, so take a look.
