The fact of the matter is, some games, even sequels, can cause a surge in hardware sales surrounding their release. It's unlikely anybody is buying the console solely for that game, but it is likely that that game caused some people to finally get a console they had been interested in getting for some time before that.
And of course, there's always the possibility of somebody's console dying, and them not bothering to get a new one until the next installment of their favorite franchise is released. I'm sure this happens far more this gen than any other, given the reliability of pre-S 360s and 60gb PS3s.
