Should We Expect a Slim 360?

Don of GamingVice.net writes:

"With the latest news of the 360 Pro being discontinued along with the Arcade and Elite console's likely dropping in price to $149 and $299, would Microsoft think about slimming the 360?

Here's how it looks right now, the Wii has a console the size of a GPX DVD player and the PS3 will be slimming down to about half the size of an XBOX 360. The 360 isn't as big as the PS3 currently is, but will look like a mammoth compared to the Slim PS3 and the Wii."

Cos Microsoft are American
And American's think Bigger is Better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

inbfour6124d ago

Tune down the nationalism a little. Ok?

Ok.

But I don't think it will happen anyway. Microsoft is already doing well with what they have now. I don't see a point in making a slim.

Master-Baiter6124d ago

Bigger IS Better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Already Know6124d ago

relax guy, I'm pretty sure he was joking...

gaffyh6124d ago

Dude used my Xbox 360 concept render lol. Anyway, I don't really think MS needs a slim, or even if they are working on a slim. They still have RROD problems (granted it's a lot less), but they need to completely eliminate it to be honest.

You Already Know6124d ago

exactly, but I think less parts = less heat and would bring the failure rate down to the PS3 level....

cmrbe6124d ago

really cares.

I guess MS sites have to try to get attention back to the x360 with the current PS3 slim and price cut rumors.

You Already Know6124d ago

you should really double check the site you are talking about...

they don't have enough 360 talk...and this coming from a PS3 only gamer..

PandemicPrawn06124d ago

There was talk of a valhalla chipset to come out after jasper.

Any news on that?

lloyd_sr16124d ago

Lol. Exactly. There has been nothing close to backed up speculation about a 360 slim because there is no 360 slim. Microsoft should just be content with their current failure rates, and not try and make it worse by taking out parts. Sony is just too good at building hardware and refining.

You Already Know6124d ago

they don't need to take parts out, they could just make them smaller....

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle14d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde21d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy21d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga22d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199222d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga22d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman22d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger22d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box22d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion21d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7222d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7522d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit22d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14922d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7722d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
