Is Microsoft Launching an Xbox . . . Toaster?

In a weird way, the original Nintendo console . . . the one where you had to blow on the cartridges . . . looked a LITTLE like a toaster.  But no one would actually confuse it for one.  Maybe it was ahead of its time.

There’s a weird rumor online claiming that Microsoft is launching an Xbox Series S . . . TOASTER.  There’s an image and specs of it going around, and supposedly it will be available sometime this year for around $65.  Which isn’t bad.

It has a cool Xbox-inspired design, but there’s not much innovation.  There are three “modes,” six browning settings, a “self-centering function,” and a removable crumb tray.  Long story short:  It toasts bread.

Microsoft put out an Xbox mini-fridge a couple years ago . . . so it’s POSSIBLE this is legit.  But Microsoft hasn’t commented, so a lot of people think it’s a joke, or the lead-up to an April Fools’ Day gag.

Especially because . . . well . . . why put out a mediocre novelty toaster?
