    Rumor: Xbox One II Production Started in February

    According to a leaked photo that made its way online earlier today, Microsoft has been mass producing a product called the "Xbox One II." Yeah, it's kind of a bad name, we know. The more literal translation, however, seems to be "Xbox One Second Generation" which would mean that this is probably more of a redesign of existing hardware rather than new internals. That is to say, this would be more akin to a "Slim" Xbox One model than anything else. Some have believed that this would be a new ha...
