XBox One Slim Images Surface Before E3 2016 Press Conference
Just ahead of Microsoft's E3 2016 Press Conference scheduled for June 13, 9:30AM PT / 12:30PM ET some XBox One Slim images have surfaced from NeoGAF users KawabataSan via wachie and ekim.
According to the pre-E3 show rumors, the XBox One S (slim, codenamed Edmonton) is purported to be 40% smaller in size featuring a 2TB hard disk drive with 4K video (not gaming) and HDR support.
To quote: FWIW I don't think this was supposed to be the big surprise.
Btw: Power Brick is internal.
With Sony's upcoming PS4 NEO in development which is rumored to support both 4K video and gaming it will be an interesting battle of the slim console market
Cheers to @Plankton in the Shoutbox for the news tip earlier today!

PS4 NEO Development Confirmed by Sony, No E3 2016 Unveiling
Following months of rumors, today Sony Interactive Entertainment President Andrew House finally and officially confirmed a PS4 NEO is indeed in development and will support both videos and games at 4K resolution!
As expected the PlayStation 4 NEO will not be unveiled during the PlayStation Live Press Conference at E3 2016, however, in the Financial Times interview he did confirm that there won't be any premium 'Neo' games and all current-gen games will run on both the current PlayStation 4 and UltraHD remake of the PS4 console.
To quote from Sony Executive Andrew House: "It is intended to sit alongside and complement the standard PS4," House told FT, "we will be selling both [versions] through the life cycle."
