Do you think we are gonna get a slim version of any of the current consoles?

I don't there will be a Wii U slim as the U is on its way out and I doubt Nintendo wants to produce anymore stock of the failed console.

I don't think there will be an Xbone slim because I remember hearing somewhere that Microsoft is more concerned with making reliable hardware rather than visually appealing hardware (I could be wrong about that, don't quote me on it) so we'll have to see in a few years if there is a slim Xbone.

I think there'll probably be a PS4 slim as Sony always makes a smaller version of their consoles.

What do you think?

I could definitely see a revision for the PS4.

I am almost certain that Nintendo won't be making a revision for the Wii U, it's just not worth it.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

For Xbox One, sure. For PS4, I think it's already slim as it is. Unless you want it to be close to the size of the PSTV. lol



Short answer, yes.

Long answer, yeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

PS4 may not get a enclosure revision, but it'll certainly see the size of it's CPU/GPU shrink over the course of the PS4's life.

Wouldn't be surprised if both PS4 and xbone gets a slimmer model at some point. Don't expect a WiiU revision at this point.



I really don't see any real reason to get any hardware revisions this generations. Everything is sized well, the GamePad being the only exception, and well..I just don't see the NEED.

Revisions are done to increase sales more than shrink the size of consoles so, we'll certainly see them happen at some point.

I guess that's why I don't really buy them. XD

Me neither. I am only ever interested in buying the original models for collecting sake. I own some revisions, like the top loading NES, but it's just something to add to my collection. The first models are always the ones I go for.
