What would be the draw for the 360 slim?

First, everything else besides your question isn't worth reading.

Second, let me enlighten you, at your request.

A. The slimmer box is more popular in Japan and Others simply due to size and efficiency.

B. The slimmer box will probably have less problems from a hardware perspective than the current box. Finally fix that RRoD.

C. The slimmer box will be percieved by everyone to have fixed RRoD. That's its main purpose.

D. The slimmer box will be accompanied by an ad campaign.

E. Besides drawing in the usual customers, this add campaign will create buzz aroud the 360, because having a slim is an interesting move to even non-gamers.

F. The slim could have greater functionality than the phat, like the DS lite.

G. A reissue creates demand for any console. Change the color of your PSP? Sell more units for 2 weeks. Much less a redesign.

H. MS can redesign the poorly designed 360.

I. Maybe cheaper to make?

J. Definitely cheaper to ship.

Basically it's the same reason the PS2, DS, and PSP came out with revamped versions of their hardware. Because it improves on the original designe, quality, refreshes sales, and raises interest. Also, if your original product had an issue, it helps your public perception regaurding that, by creating a clean slate.

Next time think it through, and I won't have to tell you what's up, bro.

Thinking that a slim anything won't increase sales of the thing, is silly. Look at everything, ever.

In a climate when you want to shop around your mainstream 199 price point, accompanying that with a lot of buzz, which will come from the slim, along with the perception that the slim is superior hardware, and you'll see a sales increase. Probably a big one. If the PS3 had a slim version, and was selling for 199, watch out.
