People say that because it will. Rarely does ONE game make a noticable impact on the weekly graph when it releases. But that game, when factored into peoples' purchasing decisions within a three month timespan around that game's launch, has a very large impact.
Will we see 360 sales spike by 100k the week Halo comes out? No, not likely. But starting a few weeks before the game launches and into January 2008, expect the 360 to chart higher than it did holiday 2006. That's mainly due to Halo and GTA. It's basically impossible to decipher which one had more impact but it doesn't really matter. You know that both games contributed.
