The Playstation 3 Slim was recently released and is selling out everywhere. The new model is greatly boosting demand for the struggling Playstation 3 so far. The Xbox 360 currently holds a moderate
lead over the Playstation 3. While Sony manages to cut down the Playstation 3 in size, Microsoft hasn't done the same yet to their video game system. Here are a few reasons why Microsoft should release an Xbox 360 Slim.
Competition
The Xbox 360 is in second place behind the Nintendo Wii and in front of the Playstation 3 in terms of worldwide hardware sales. However, Microsoft is closer to Sony than they are to Nintendo. Only seven million units separate the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. Not to mention that the Playstation 3 is outselling the Xbox 360 in Japan and evenly in Europe.
With the Playstation 3 Slim, demand will rise for the competition. To counter, Microsoft needs to announce their version of an Xbox 360 Slim in order to stay ahead of Sony. Otherwise, they could easily fall to last place in the console wars race.
Cost-saving
In order to build the Xbox 360 Slim, Microsoft will need to first shrink the chip set of the system. Doing so will reduce the size of the system. As a result, the Xbox 360 Slim will be cheaper to manufacture with smaller components, a smaller casing and less manufacturing costs. The new slim model will help save cost for Microsoft, which will then be able to lower the price of the system to consumers. Subsequently, demand will increase for the Xbox 360.
Prevent Hardware Issues
The Xbox 360 Slim can also be used to eliminate hardware problems for the system. Microsoft decided to get a head start on the competition by launching the Xbox 360 early. Unfortunately, this led to hardware failures like the Red Ring of Death and E74 Errors. These issues persist even today after numerous revisions and have literally cost Microsoft billions of dollars. For the Xbox 360 Slim, Microsoft will have to shrink all chipsets to 45 nm, which will prevent the overheating issues.
