  1. Delay the announcement of the new hardware version until as close as possible to launch, not 3 months in advanc

 

I have a problem with that, since it's not possible to witheld that information to more than 3 moths before the release. So I think that there would be at least a 3 moth before anouncement. 

I would also argue that, since a Slim version would probably come with a price cut too(not necessarely big), an early anouncement would convince some potential buyers to wait and not by the 360, or possibly even the Wii, in the meantime.

PS2 Slim Officially announced: Sep 21st 2004

PS2 Slim launch date: November 1st, 2004 (US/Europe) Nov 3rd (Japan)

There were rumors of a PS2 slim way before an officiall announcement though.  If there is a PS3 slim coming this fall, don't expect an official announcement at E3.
