I think Sony would have seen an identical explosion from keeping the same form factor and chopping of $100 from the price. Some ultrahardcore might have purchased it because of the new size, but I think the bulk of the sales came from new buyers who finally saw the system as affordable.
I don't see the point of a 360 Slim unless it allows them to make it for less money. That won't boost sales though. I also don't see a price drop. They aren't doing worse than they were last year, they're pretty stable. I think they will do bundles at the same price until Sony starts hinting at a price drop.
