Called the Xbox 10 S (for the Windows 10 connection)

The article calls it a rumor, but just sounds as if it's a combination of rumors with this guy's own theory.
He brings up some pretty compelling points too.

Here's some excerpts:

Ahead of Microsoft’s E3 event on Sunday, I’d like to collect the evidence that Microsoft is eager to put a computer beneath your television.

First and foremost, Microsoft has been talking about the convergence of living room entertainment and Windows software since before the original Xbox existed. Its video game consoles have always been something of a Trojan horse. And with the company’s reveal for the Xbox One, that thinly concealed strategy went public. The notorious presentation largely overlooked games and favored lengthy explanations of HDMI-pass through, professional sports partnerships, and grand media plans.

As a fully functional PC, Project Scorpio could be an Xbox, an Apple TV, and an Amazon Echo all rolled into one.

Thoughts? Could Xbox make a comeback with this? Since Xbox is cross compatible with PC now, this makes a ton of sense actually. But it'll probably be super expensive.

inb4 the PC is a PC for the living room

It's not gonna be a PC for your living room. It'll be a DRM box, even if it does integrate more features from Windows into the overlay.

Actually, after thinking about it, this kinda sounds dumb. If you could only play Xbox exclusives on it that would make more sense, but it just sounds like a cheap PC...

What a redundant purpose.

Isn't that what their original intent with the XBOne was? An all around computer and entertainment unit for the living room?
