Despite many rumours regarding the new Xbox 720 specifications and design, it appears that we might be seeing a completely different device from Microsoft before the Xbox 720. Dubbed the “Xbox Lite”, reports are suggesting that this “lite” version of the current Xbox 360 will feature a sub £100 price tag.
Reports of this new “Xbox Lite” are quite a surprise to us, and most likely you too, seen as though we haven’t heard anything about a “lite” version of the current model at all. However, if the reports are true, we could be seeing quite an impressive games console for less than £100.
The rumoured “Xbox Lite” will apparently be an ARM-based console, but that’s all we know at the moment. It would have been nice for this report to mention some specs, but oh well we’ll have to wait!
The reports did claim that we will see a true successor to the Xbox 360 after the “lite” version though:
“At some point after [the Xbox Lite], we’ll see a Xbox Next, a true successor to the 360. Details about it are very hazy, except that, like the 360, it will do games for core-audiences and the same media apps as the other device, also with Kinect.”
