This would still be a 360 just an upgraded one like a DS and DS Lite, obviously this would be a bigger jump than the example given but this would be meant to be just a better more powerful 360, not the 360's successor. And its a fantastic idea. |
That's not really true. The DS Lite didn't increase processing power, so games run equally on both models.
If an upgraded 360 appears and Microsoft wants games to work on both consoles, that will be a pain in the ass for developers. It would be one big step closer to PC-like development, where you have to let the game scale itself to the processing power of each model.
They might also have to support both consoles with and without Natal, resulting in harder development and probably gimmicky optional motion controls, or dumbed-down games on the 360 without Natal.
