We've heard rumors in the past suggesting that Microsoft is planning to release a streamlined version of the Xbox that will be used primarily for entertainment apps and XBLA games. A new report suggest that while the company has been working on such a device, they're currently rethinking their strategy.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft is currently testing the product with plans potentially release it alongside the next Xbox this fall; however, the fear of cannibalizing their own product lineup and/or being unable to compete in this arena has the company second guessing this move.
