If it's side by side then you have the same space as before, and one in front of the other is moot because no one arranges their things like that in the first place. It's useless that it's thinner (looking at it top down). |
I didn't realize space was the main incentive for slims. I thought people just cared because smaller looks better. In any case, the new slim allows more space in front of and behind itself.
Imagine the Phat PS3 for example, then imagine it suddenly grew 30% backwards and forwards. Sure, it's the same width, and doesn't effect the allignment of the other consoels, but it's clearly uglier. The opposite is the case with the Slim. It may not have a smaller width, but it is drastically smaller, which looks nicer.
