Did Halo 2 spike hardware sales of the original Xbox?

@ kber 81... that's exactly what i was thinking...the 360 might not pass 320K in the Halo 3 launch month.

 

 

That would require all of the sales bumps to happen in the course of 5 days which we all know isn't realistic, now is it?  Look at the Launch date of the game...  I would expect to sell *some systems* at launch of the game but I would expect the sales bump to come on stronger in october and carry some momentum through the holidays.  Microsoft has Mass Effect and PGR4 coming this holiday along with a stellar lineup of multi-platform games so it's going to be hard to separate "Halo 3 inspired" vs. other reasons for buying hardware.
