Microsoft touts smaller, faster Xbox One game consoles at E3
Microsoft unveiled during its Monday media briefing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo a new, slimmer version of the video game console coming later this year and a more powerful one that's due in 2017.
Other changes include moving the USB ports to the front of the console, adding a built-in infrared blaster and eliminating the port for the motion-detecting Kinect camera system.
During the presentation, Microsoft also heavily promoted its new Xbox Play Anywhere initiative, which will allow users to play games on both the Xbox One or Windows 10 computer.
The sci-fi shooter sequel "Gears of War 4," Christmas-themed zombie-slaying installment "Dead Rising 4," cooperative pirate adventure "Sea of Thieves" and driving simulator "Forza Horizon 3" are among the Xbox Play Anywhere titles showcased at the briefing.
