CHECK!

Still hoping it comes true!!

that would be nice if it happens this fall!!

So I'm guessing that a 360 slim isn't copying at all...

I guess if you want to be technical, yes they are copying the age old strategy of consoles slimming down.  But at least they are not making their slim look exactly like a competing product! (or maybe they will, since we have only seen the mobo so far, lol)

Yeah...let's hope M$ has sufficient amounts of transfer kits for all the people who will NEED to migrate their data over to the new consoles...I just got my MW2 bundles console on launch, and now I'm going to have to get a new console when this drops...darn.

I hope I can hold onto this new console for 2 years...so...Nexbox in 2012, imho.

They NEED to come up with a cheap soloution and box it with every new Slim (if it exists), or have them handed out over the counter for those that need it. This is something they simply can't afford to go short on.

Yeah, I was pretty annoyed...I missed the holiday buying season to sell my used 360, while waiting for the stupid backordered kit to show up.  I currently have 2 wires and 2 disc, so I'm gtg for my new 360 slimma (lol, since Sony tm Slim).

How many xboxes do u need?wouldn't u be better off buying another console to enjoy what they have to offer as a gamer???i mean if u have the money for another console why would you rebuy the same (it seems you already ahve more than one xbox 360)?it would be like me buying 4 PS3s .I bought one in 2007 and that's it. if i buy another console it will be an Xbox 360 not another PS3.it seems u worship MS instead of being a gamer .Sorry if i m wrong and sound judgemental ,,but this issue seems really wierd to me.

OT:

good stuff.hope it happens as i might buy it :p

Interesting defense. Still, let's make another comparison.

Nintendo introduces the Wii with motion controls. It's wildly successful, and turns their fortunes around. Sony copies this strategy not once, but twice in an attempt to gain more market success. While motion controls were not an entirely new idea, they were a major catalyst for Nintendo and they helped the Wii's success considerably.

Sony introduces the PS3 with a slimmed down version. It's wildly successful, and turns their fortunes around. Then, as the PS3 pulls ahead of the 360 in sales (because of the sales boost of the slim version), rumors begin to surface that Microsoft is planning a slim 360. Sure, a slimmed down system isn't an entirely new idea. Still, it's very unlikely Microsoft would have considered this unless Sony had introduced a slim PS3 and pulled ahead of them in weekly sales by a considerable margin. That did happen, however, and if such a product comes from Microsoft, it will just be imitation and market response (which is hardly new for the Xbox brand, but whatever).

I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, since Vgchartz arguments bore the shit out of me now. Just seems to me like Microsoft is following Sony's lead in this department.
