Υπό ανάπτυξη το Xbox One Slim;

Όπως συμβαίνει σε κάθε γενιά κονσολών, έτσι και στην όγδοη γενιά αναμένεται να δούμε slim εκδόσεις των ήδη υπάρχοντων μοντέλων των PS4 και Xbox One. Μία πρόσφατη αγγελία της Microsoft που αναζητά έναν Senior Electrical Engineer αποκάλυψε πως ίσως να δούμε σύντομα μία slim έκδοση του Xbox One. Σύμφωνα με τις απαιτήσεις της θέσης εργασίας που μπορείτε να δείτε παρακάτω, η Microsoft ψάχνει έναν ηλεκτρολόγο μηχανικό που θα σχεδιάζει διάφορες μεθόδους καθώς και ηλεκτρικά υποσυστήματα.
