Slim consoles require chips more energy efficient than plain ones , XB360 just went out from RRoD nightmare, MS won't risk another releasing an hypothetical 360 Slim too early, or they could, but it would require either a more costly full aluminium case or smaller, but higher output, and so ultra-noisy, fans, or a costly liquid cooling.
But as a cheap XB360 didn't kill an expensive PS3, all the more reason a cheaper, but still more expensive than XB, PS3 won't kill a now cheap and successful XB360, maybe a cheaper PS3 will make XB360 end this gen 3rd, but earning a lot of money anyway, and most probably ending 2nd in USA, so MS could be satisfied without risking and/or losing money on HW.
