I dont think MS cares about something like this. They would just sell new HDs and the old ones are Incompatible.

If they really want to improve the Power of the XBOX360 together with natal that would mean the Games which make use of the Power cant be played on the Standard XBOX they certainly give a shit about their customers.

Its still a rumor but some of the MS Statements indicate something like this.

Sorry but that doesn't make sense. oO Shrinking the processors and motherboard wouldn't mean less performance. It would only bring improvements to the users like smaller console, less production cost, less power cosumpion and less heat generation(less noise from the cooling fans).

 

My puzzlement is why MS hasn't beaten Sony to it, as it's a natural step in making the console cost efficient and expanding its market.

Either there's technical issues or they're keeping it as a secret for now(why? I do not know).

I think you misunderstood what the guy said... He said improve the power, not power efficiency. 

Also how is it a natural step? It's more like a Sony strategy than a natural step. I don't think Nintendo or MS has ever redesigned one of their home consoles. And I think the Sega Genesis might have been redesigned but other than that I don't think any home console besides the Playstation brand has been redesigned. 

I don't think MS thought of redesigning their console as a strategy and thus probably wont do it this generation. They may prepare for it next generation though.
