I like this design over the orig. and if's it's anything it most likely run cooler and since it has by this source a 250 GB HD and built in Wifi that's a good thing esp. if the cost stay's the same of $299.00 or Less.

I could see the Arcade unit dropping to $149.99, and the current XBOX360 go to $250.00

which would be a great price reduction.

You are still out of your mind by saying 7 million.

You are almost counting the PS3 as it's not selling at all.

It looks like an old PC tower from like 2005, doesn't even look slim.

At your bolded parts, now you're just trolling.

Without dimensions this isn't that useful. Think I prefer this design to the original, which was exactly what it said on the tin, a box. Looks like this has more vents so hopefully should run cool and quiet.

As for console sales, I think we'll have a better idea after E3 and both Sony and MS have announced how they're going to release and price Natal/Move, games and Slim/price drops.

Ugly. :/

Trolling two times in the same thread? Come on man.

Grow up, Gran Turismo 5 will sell units, you must be smoking drugs from out of this universe to say otherwise.

There is a comparison shot on GAF which shows it to be a bit smaller, but I agree that it's pretty damn ugly

Rebranding? LOL. It's still going to be known as what it is, the Xbox 360, and public perception of it is already set. Natal won't change that, and this certainly won't, even if it is legit.

First of all, it's not really that much different than the current 360, and second, the PS3 slim made so much noise not necessarily because of the redesign, but because of the fact that it was long overdue for a price cut after being $400 for the longest. The 360 has been affordable for a while now, so a price cut wouldn't make a difference, and even then it's highly unlikely that MS would lower the price again due to Natal.

Gran Turismo is like the Star Trek movies?  Odd numbers in the series end up being the top ones?

Nice to see the PS3 fanboys running damage control, normally a good sign :)

Personally i think it looks better then the current 360 which is pretty ugly. As others have mentioned none of the consoles this gen look too good, the PS3 slim lookslike a george forman grill that has been run over by a huge truck, but the games play fine on it! And that is the point, if the specs of this thing are better then the current one then people will buy it, if the price is better then the current one then people will buy it.

It is long over do and with a price cut will obviously revitalise 360 sales.

yea. the reduction's most likely will be weight an power usage over the outer size of the unit it's most likely not going to be that much in size reduction.

as for the redesign being Ugly, well that Opinion.
