And to elaborate further, I think it's kind of a silly question. No offence to the op (maybe a little :p) but there's no reason to suggest a buck in the trend. It provides a way to reduce production costs even more and a great marketing opportunity. 

As well as reducing power consumption which reduces heat, which makes systems quieter etc.... there are a number of reasons why a revision will absolutely happen.

Yep, I'm 99.9% sure the x1 and PS4 will get redesigned. Even the Wii U has a high chance. If Ps4 and X1 don't, I'll eat my hat. I don't own a hat but I'll go and buy one then eat it.

 

And the reason given for the X1 not getting redesigned in the op I think is wrong. Overheating worries were only for launch designs. The heat given off in the latest X1s will be reduced by a good amount since launch. They can reduce size without fear. Or get inventive with the design like the Ps4. Much better made, smaller and doesn't have a power brick.
