To say that a redesign has no impact on sales is pretty ignorant.
At the very least it gets people talking about the system.
I bought a 360 S because it was quieter than the original model and came with a larger hard drive.
I have a friend who bought the Super Slim because it was smaller and quieter than his original fat PS3.
I can see lots of second purchases of the PS3 and 360 with redesigns, especially this late in the cycle as people replace machines that are starting to wear out.
