Kidding aside, everything Nintendo. They really know how to improve their hardware. PS2 was made slimmer, yes it looks sexy, but lost a lot of connectivity and cooling system. The PSP evolution is the worst, the tech improved but the build quality was compromised, I could throw a PSP-1000 to a person and send him/her to coma but the revisions would melt under the blistering heat of the sun. PS3 lost BC, well it was about the cost really, but they really should not have introduced that feature if they are going to get rid of it anyway.
I haven't owned a Xbox 360 so I can't chime in my opinion.

How is the loss of a moving fan that can break a bad thing?
This is rather anecdotal but the slim is not good when you try to endure-run a game because it overheats more than the phat because of its passive cooling.

This is the reason I didn't even consider the 360. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that even the newest model still has the highest fail rate of this generation.
New sleek design, a little smaller, internal WiFi, touch sensitive buttons, more silent fan, lower fail rate...
I find it funny that people praise the new 360s for having built in WiFi when Nintendo had a handheld that included that over half a decade before Microsoft finally did. I just can't in good conscience give Microsoft credit for finally adding what a handheld had had for six years. Not to mention it STILL has a damn disk tray!

Not to mention that the "single player console" Wii has it also. I had to pay over 40 euros for my wireless Xbox 360 network adapter

Also looking to buy: Ys III (TG-16 CD), Shadowrun (Genesis) Hori N64 mini pad and Slayer (3DO) in long box/just the long box

Which doesn't mean it's not a better hardware revision compared to the first Xbox 360 model. I still don't see your point...
If you are not happy with the new Xbox 360 revision, than tell me what they could've done better...
Looks to me like MS just can't do things right for some of you people, no matter what they do...

One of my cats likes to sniff the 360's power button. Maybe it's the sound it makes when she touches it with her nose, I dunno. Anyways, this has resulted in a few intense gaming sessions ending pretty abruptly. Followed by me yelling: "Goddammit, stop sniffing that power button you naked monkey!..."
So yeah, touch buttons are cool, as long as your cat doesn't find out about them... -_-
My cat likes to sit practically on top of the XBox 360, towards the back because she loves the heated air it blows out.
Probably the PS3 Slim and PS2 Slim, also liking the Xbox 360 S, but i have to disagree with the GBA SP, its not very ergonomic, and i would of rather had a Original GBA with an official back-light, it was much more comfortable to hold.
Also i am too waiting for a 3DS Revision, not going to get screwed this time Nintendo! i bought a Phat DS, few months later BAM DS Lite, then DSi, then DSi XL, where is my 3DS Revision Nintendo!? you arent getting a penny out of me on 3DS games till then!

I guess all cats are alike when it comes to heat and chillin'...
