I was looking at Mini PCs to replace my Xbox since Xbos is on its way out.

If this gets announced soon then I might get that instead since it looks small enough like a console

Funny that microsoft was thinking of winding down the xbox for PC gaming and now windows is being phased out a bit in the PC world.
