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.

If the new one is going to cost $300-, than I'd probably end up buying one. Although we all know how M$ is...

1989Waltee I must be one of the few people that actually like the look of the console, although granted I have the white version which I personally think looks a whole lot better than the black. The size really isn't an issue either, it's not like I'm lugging it around every single day, it's not been moved once since I bought it.
I like the design to and dont have a problem with the size of it but a smaller version would be ever better.
I don't have a problem with the size at all. And I am a big fan of the Advanced Warfare look of the Xbox One. The color scheme is great.

It kind of makes me angry that they would release a newer one soon. I didn't get my money's worth for my current Xbox One.
