No Plans for XBox 360 says Microsoft's Greenberg
Sorry, no skinny Xbox 360 will be available... ever.
Microsoft's director of product management Aaron Greenberg told Kotaku in a recent interview that the company is quite happy with the Xbox 360 console. Actually, he said that they "feel great" about the console although Microsoft should actually be ashamed in regards to the inexcusable 54.2-percent hardware failure rate.
Still, Greenberg talks as if the console is king of the world now that the company revamped the operating system with the cheesy New Xbox Experience interface, and added "extra value" with Netflix and more multimedia features coming in future updates (Facebook, Last.FM, Twitter).
With that said, don't expect anything drastic to change for a long time on the hardware front, if ever. "We feel like our system has done very well for us in the current form," he told Kotaku. "We have no plans for a slim."
In fact, Greenberg added that the Xbox 360 has "plenty of future," that the console is not even middle-aged in regards to the console's expected lifespan. Greenberg even revisited the subject of Project Natal working on the current consoles. "I think it will add to the longevity of the system," he said.
"I think what we did with the New Xbox Experience is a sign of what we want to do with the console," he admitted.
