The hardware for 360 in the US this week is bull. How do people logically explain the 360 going from 37k to 74k in europe? They completely doubled there but in the US it only goes up like 19k? After all the reports of people seeing tons of halo consoles sold during launch and elites sold there would be much more than a 17% increase.

Since the beginning of September XBox 360 sales have been increasing in anticipation of the release of Halo 3 ... Sales have been over double any other month of the year

bingo

halo 3 did boost sales, by quite a bit. It increased slowly, but 360 has been selling extremely well this month, and im sure it was the halo boost. If you include all the weeks increase that halo produced, you would see that it pushed ALOT of systems, just not as many in 1 week (did VERY well in others)

Exactly.  Halo 3 absolutely sold lots of systems.  It will be interesting to see what the system sales settle at.
