Microsoft touts smaller, faster Xbox One game consoles at E3

Xbox One is shrinking in size and growing in power. Microsoft unveiled during its Monday media briefing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo a new, slimmer version of the video game console coming later this year and a more powerful one that's due in 2017. The company says the white Xbox One S is 40 percent smaller than the original black Xbox One and will feature support for 4K high-definition video. Other changes include moving the USB ports to the front of the console, adding a built-in infrared blaster and eliminating the port for the motion-detecting Kinect camera system. Microsoft says the console will go on sale in August for 299 to 399 depending on the size of the hard drive.
