You need to compare it on a monthy basis, rather than a weekly basis.
NPD Figures for Each November - Source: NPD via VGCharts.com
2001 (launch) - 722,177
2002 - 468,000
2003 - 490,000
2004 (Halo 2) - 708,000
2005 - 195,000
2005 (X360) - 326,000
2006 (X360) - 513,000 (est)
So you can tell that H2 definately had an effect. It was 218k units higher than any other November for the Xbox, and still 195k more than any Microsoft November incl. the X360.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
