Microsoft: The Xbox One Mini rumors are "not real"

Microsoft has shot down rumors for the possibility of a "Xbox One Mini" being launched at its purported October event. However, fans can still expect a slimmer version of Microsoft's latest console.

Previously, a report emerged which claimed that Microsoft would be holding a launch event in October where people could expect the company to launch the Surface Pro 4, Lumia flagships; namely Cityman and Talkman, the Band 2 and possibly even a "Xbox One Mini" which could be a third the size of the current console, due to the removal of the Blu-Ray drive.

Microsoft's Phil Spencer has now debunked this theory, stating that the rumors are simply "not real".

While the Xbox One Mini definitely won't be happening at Microsoft's purported event, fans can look forward to the recently leaked Lumia flagships; Cityman and Talkman, new Surface tablets including the Surface Pro 4, the eagerly awaited Band 2 and perhaps even a slimmer - if not "mini" - version of the Xbox One.
