What's so unbelievable that a sleeker redesign didn't have a huge effect on sales? We saw the PS3 Slim produce considerable growth over a significant period of time:

Plus, the 360S was not just sleeker, but also much less failure-prone. Remember the Red Ring of Death on the OG 360? That also got solved with the S, hence why many preferred the new model.

I think the majority of the buying public isn't aware of things such as these, just hardcore gamers. The kinect brought in a whole new demo for X360. Sure the new model boosted sales some, but the majority was because of the kinect. You dont sell 32 million of a peripheral without pushing major hardware sales as well.
