Microsoft: ‘”Xbox 360 Slim a huge hit”
Microsoft have announced that the new more energy efficient and super cool looking Xbox 360 Slim has been a huge hit in the US, with retailers experiencing an unprecidented demand > a demand which even smashes the PS3 Slims first week. The Xbox 360 has been battling to be king in the gaming console market with both Sony’s PlayStation and the Nintendo Wii, but with the new slimmed down version on the shelves and the eagerly anticipated Kinect on the horizon, Microsoft’s tails are wagging.
In a statement, Microsoft said;
“We are hearing great feedback from retailers that the new Xbox 360 250GB is experiencing unprecedented demand,” said the company.
“Consumers are eager to experience this new console, completely redesigned for the future of entertainment: sleeker, smaller, and whisper-quiet.”
“Strong demand for the new Xbox 360 250GB combined with a $50 price reduction in the US on the Xbox 360 Arcade and Elite consoles, now $149.99 and $249.99 respectively, has resulted in a significant sales spike for Xbox 360 since the new console hit shelves on or around 14 June.”

The declaration of release date of Xbox 360 slimmed version has increased the enthusiasm between users. I have heard that the new slimmed version is improved a lot comparing to the features in which the previous versions were lacking of. One of which is the new slimmed one can bear extreme heat which previous version could not.
I saw something about that subject on TV last night. Nice article, voted gimmick!
