I'm not sure how the 360 will get slimmer. Lower cooling requirement due to new chips can only go so far. The area of the board is pretty ideal already and would not see a noticeable size difference in the shrinkage. Power supply could stand some shrinkage though.

They could do the same as PS3. PS3 slim and phat has almost identical area of the board but slim is just thinner and lighter. Actually, PS3 slim is bigger than phat in 1 dimension (slim has bigger depth than phat). Still, it seemed to work for PS3 so why wouldn't it work for 360?

I am sure , IT would work as long as the processor went to 45nm scale, and the GPU shrink's last time I heard they went still to 65nm scale

Xbox 360 "Jasper" May Follow "Falcon"

Next console iteration will shrink GPU to 65nm.

that was the jasper reduction:

so the xbox360 is getting near I would imagine to the 45nm scale for it's CPU soon . next at that point it most likely Microsoft would be able to reduce it's over all size of the xbox360
