Microsoft Will Reveal a Remodeled Xbox One Soon
It's not that Microsoft purposelessly made the Xbox One humongous. The bulky design helps the console function better, especially after the Red Ring of Death cases with the Xbox 360 -- a technical fault that could damage the console beyond repair. Another advantage of the bulky size is that the Xbox One does not heat up as quickly as Sony's PS4.
However, shelf space does matter, and the size of the console is an issue for users, especially travelers. To make matters worse, the console comes with a "power brick" that takes up even more space.
Although redesigned models are usually released after a gap of four to five years, it seems like Microsoft will release a remodeled console earlier than expected. Netflix's chief product officer, Neil Hunt, stated in February that Sony and Microsoft had promised them a new hardware, which would support Netflix's 4K content.
Cost is also an issue that could prompt Microsoft to change its design. Even the slightest of details matter when developing the design for a console; these decisions can affect the cost model of companies as well. Microsoft may look toward the opportunity of lowering its cost by reducing the material required to produce its consoles.
Nevertheless, one thing that could hinder Microsoft's release of a new design soon is the Hololens. It is still unknown whether Hololens will be an essential part of Xbox One, but if it is, Microsoft may want to release a model that requires no extension in order to take input from the Hololens.
All in all, given that Microsoft is becoming more and more consumer-friendly, a compact design for its bulky console seems highly likely.

Unfortunately I had to delete games because my hard drive was full lol. I had only 10 games installed. But if the games didn't need multiple 500mb-2gb patches, that would free up a lot but yeah. The new xbone will probably have a terabyte hdd

1989Wokze A new one already :/ only just got this one... Guessing it's gonna have 1tb, it needs it, the hard drive is way to small, I've ran out of space already :/
I had to delete a ton of game just to download the new games I have been getting so now I am limited to only a few games to play and it is kinda annoying even though you can get a external hard drive I do not have the money for one atm.
That's not a flaw that a new console will fix. Unless in this new one (Which you'd have to pay for remember) has a waaay bigger HD.

The current model looks fine, but whatever keeps them making money and producing consoles. xD
