Microsoft Reportedly Canceled Xbox TV Streaming Stick Codenamed Project Hobart

Microsoft was originally planning on launching an Xbox-branded streaming stick that would function pretty much like Google's Chromecast. However, it looks like the tech company has canceled the device's development entirely. Microsoft's streaming stick was first leaked back in June just before the annual E3 conference. Instead of announcing the Xbox TV device, Microsoft announced the Xbox One S and next year's Project Scorpio instead. It's being speculated that the company decided to do this in response to the leak of Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro, according to Windows Central.
