With all the news about Nintendo and the NX, and Sony and the PlayStation 4K, Microsoft, who were among the first to float the idea of an iterative console in the first place, can often get lost in the hubbub. But it looks as though they have been silently chipping away at the Xbox behind the scenes, and in the process, they may be gearing up to launch something soon, too.
With a new Xbox One, and the PS4K both due later this year, Nintendo are now in a hard spot- especially since the NX has been delayed into next year, and they are left with no major game on the Wii U to fill the gaps, either.
