Smaller Xbox One Coming This Year, More Powerful Xbox One In 2017, Says Report (kotaku.com)

Keza MacDonald and Jason Schreier, reporting for game blog Kotaku: Microsoft is preparing at least two new Xbox models for release in the next two years, sources tell Kotaku. Later this year we'll see a cheaper, smaller Xbox One, and next year Microsoft will release a more powerful version of their premiere console. The 2017 Xbox, which is codenamed Scorpio, will have a more powerful GPU. We hear that it will also be technically capable of supporting the Oculus Rift and that Microsoft is pursuing a partnership with Oculus. As for 2016, sources have told us there's at least a more compact version coming by year's end. One source believed it will include a larger 2TB hard drive, double the capacity of the most spacious current model. We're expecting Microsoft to announce the more compact machine at E3 next month.

Re:Wow, Osborne Effect much

They said the smaller xbone coming out this year will be cheaper, so they're not really pulling an Osbourne. There's still good reasons to get an xbone.

It's the opposite of Nintendo. The latter has "announced" (well, acknowledged its existence) the NX and told everyone the Wii U - which has seen no price cuts - is about to be discontinued. So they've out-Osbourned Osbourne.
