They could easily make it as small as the Wii, the only thing is they'd need to keep their external power brick.
So if there is a 360 slim, yeah it'll probably be slimmer than the PS3 but it'll be because they have an external power source unlike the PS3 which has everything in the unit itself. |
I doubt they could make it as small as the Wii. Doing a quick search, the Wii uses under 20W, while the X360 uses somewhere under 150W (the original used something like 170) but I doubt they have it under 100W. They wouldn't be able to dissapate the heat with such a small design.

For what its worth the Xbox 360 Jasper uses:
| Xbox 360 Revision |
System Off |
Idle |
Halo 3 |
Rockband 2 |
Gears of War 2 |
BioShock Demo |
| Xenon |
2.3W |
155.7W |
177.8W |
167.7W |
177.1W |
172W |
| Falcon |
2.8W |
101.4W |
121.2W |
112.8W |
121.5W |
115.5W |
| Jasper |
2.0W |
93.7W |
105.9W |
101.0W |
105.9W |
98.1W |
So if you figure it at 75% PSU efficiency at load, Xenon used 140W inside the box, Falcon used 95W inside the box and Jasper about 80W. Now it wouldn't surprise me if the new slim Xbox 360 leak used around 40-50W inside the box because proportionately its the largest change given its about the equivalent in hardware terms of Falcon + Jasper revisions at the same time and then some more when you consider the fusing of two or three chips together.

yep. also, smaller = less power = less heat.
now, i don't think that microsoft will spend the money to make it the size of the Wii, but i'm sure they could.
