Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft denies slim 360 rumors

http://kotaku.com/5346532/microsoft-confirms-xbox-360-price-drop-denies-slim-360-rumors

"We feel like our system has done very well for us in the current form. We have no plans for a slim."

Greenberg also reiterated that this generation of gaming console from Microsoft will be around for quite a bit longer.

"We feel that we're not even at the halfway point (of the Xbox 360's life cycle)," he said. "That is something we believe in strongly. People have invested in these consoles, and we have massively connected communities and we have storage. I think what we did with the New Xbox Experience is a sign of what we want to do with the console."

Another, he said, is Microsoft's recently announced Project Natal which allows gamers to play games using a video camera and the console.

"It will work with our Xbox 360 system," he said. "I think that will add to the longevity of the system.

"The Xbox 360 has plenty of future."

I was hoping there would be a smaller version. I guess this new means it might be awhile.

Of course they deny it. Whether it's true or not, they wouldn't want people to think/know it's coming soon. Then demand for current models would decrease



There were 360 slim rumors?

Really?



There is no need for one.

I agree that is sound logic. Now if they can keep photos from being leaked they'll be in good shape.

Didn't Sony deny it as well? Yes they did.



what slim rumors?



Maybe next year when Natal releases.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

What gergory said.



The 360 is already HUGE and has heat issues with an external power supply! Do you really want them playing with the hardware and making it smaller? It would be RROD all over again.
