Microsoft has strenuously denied there being any connection at all between the development of the Xbox 360 Slim and the PS3 Slim, saying the new Xbox was in development long before Sony announced the revision.
When asked about the matter, one of Microsoft’s top marketing bosses had this to say:
“I think the decision to do this was made before their announcements last year. It’s part of the natural generation of a console to refine the components and make it sleeker and quieter and all that.
I wouldn’t say it was directly related [to PS3 Slim].”
Oddly, something very similar was said about price cuts mysteriously coinciding with the release of the PS3 Slim, and so far the only company to be routinely releasing slimmed down versions of its consoles is Sony.
Any comments for New version xbox 360 is out looks just like xbox one do you buy this new version xbox 360?
ps3 still has a crappy design… first it was a grill, now its a pancake maker.

What was a turd is now diarrhea…
I wonder if Microsoft will be using IBM’s latest 22nm semiconductor process for Xenon and Xenos in the slim which is more advanced then anything Intel has.
That might actually solve the heat issues despite the smaller case.
As for copying Sony Atari made a slim black 2600 decades before the Sony got into the console business.
So they were thinking about making 360 slim before PS1one and PS2 slim? cool. i want to look into the future too
You do realize that back in 1984 Atari released a ‘slim’ version of Atari 2600?
