why are people still saying the Xbox 360 sales are only the discontinued SKUs?

I think it is fair to say that the Xbox 360 slim is the droving force behinde the Xbox 360 sales. I know, Amazon alone is not a good source, but check the other sources please.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
