Well, it is reasonable to assume that there will be loads and loads of new Xbox360 owners over the holidays of whom a LOT will want to buy Halo3, Bioshock and Gears of War bezause those are THE games for that platform, just like Zelda TP will have a boost (though not in the same order of magnitude).
Last year X360 sold about 2M units through november and december. With an attach rate of 33% that'll make another 600k units of Halo3 without the cutrrent owners that waited for Christmas to get/recieve the game.
That's one of the reasons this period is so interesting, old games can make a return in the charts because the install bases increase dramatically.
