The price cuts come as Microsoft is reportedly preparing to reduce the size of the console by 40 per cent. The company may also offer a 2TB hard drive for the first time when it takes the stage on June 13.
Microsoft is also said to be plotting a Roku-like streaming box that would enable users to play Xbox One games remotely on other screens.
