Report: A cheaper Project Scarlett alternative remains in Xbox's next gen plans

Rumors about a cheaper Project Scarlett console continue to ebb and flow as insiders now tell Kotaku a lower-powered next-gen system is still in the cards.

Another comment from earlier this year suggests that Xbox’s game streaming service, Project xCloud, rendered the concept of a cheaper next-gen system unnecessary.

Kotaku’s report, readable in full here, likens the relationship between the flagship Scarlett console and the rumored cheaper system, codenamed Lockhart, to that of the Xbox One X and the Xbox One S of the current generation.
