Holiday 2010 massive boost and 2011 sales being up almost every month and peaking in year 6 is the work of something capturing a new audience, not a sleeker redesign. The fact that Kinect sold 18 million in just over a year and caused Microsoft to shift focus from the "hardcore" to "casuals" is pretty telling as well.

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.
