I'm even sceptical of the rumored "slim 360" until next year. Jaspers barely show any reduction in motherboard components compared to Falcons... they might have to wait until they are able to merge the cpu and gpu on a single die.

I think the hard drive would be the biggest problem.  They would have to make a completely different set of hard drives.

 

The current HDD design dictates width, but it doesn't mean the consoles length or depth cannot be shortened some. Theres also a very obvious solution to this problem which is to make the HDD enclosure a two piece set where you can take the smaller piece out of the larger piece to fit it onto a slimline console.
