I dream of Elite 2.0. It'd have to be something outstanding to top what we have now.

Well, aside from an incremental update I suppose.

Man this is exciting

If they are hiring for this stuff right now I guess the System's indeed releasing in 2020. I wonder if they'll do an early-year release

I think in 2019, probably the last half, we will start hearing more and more rumors. Windows Central first mentioned Scarlett a few months before E3.

Nah, I think it would be bit of a mess for both console manufacturers.

This description is interesting, would we see future XBox systems with SSDs or flash-based storage?

How about a $150 controller that doesn't break/stick drift?

SSD is interesting.
