Rumor: Xbox Mini Set-Top Finally Slated for 2013 Release

Just hours before Best Buy spilled the beans on Nintendo's new Wii Mini console for Canada, reports surfaced that Microsoft is still working on an Xbox Mini console to be launched in 2013.

This rumored Xbox Mini is actually the set-top version we've heard about before which will compete with Apple TV and Roku set-top boxes. For a low price, the device will allow owners to access core entertainment services and casual gaming titles that can be purchased, downloaded and installed from the Marketplace.
