If the 360 can possibly find a way to pull back ahead of the Wii in the future it won't be because of Halo 3. It'll be after a price cut or two, and big original games like Bioshock give the system farther boosts. 2008 could possibly be the big year for the 360 if things go just right for them. However for this year the 360 has no chance to retake the lead, absolutely none. Even in the US it'll probably only get a few weeks with 360 barely ahead of the Wii, than fall back in weekly sales for the rest of the year. In Europe I don't see the 360 passing the Wii for a single week, and we're all aware of that Japanese gap.
If the 360 wants any chance of reclaiming number one it has to do better with casual gamers and younger gamers where the Wii is absolutely destroying them. Halo 3 will have little effect on either demographic. It's a game playing to the 360 masses for the most part.
