I don't see why they couldn't. Let's take a look at the holiday lineup referesher shall we?
Exclusives
Sept: Halo ODST
1 vs 100 out of beta
Oct: MagnaCarta 2
Dragon Age Origins
Splinter Cell Convictions
Forza 3
Crackdown 2 (TBD?)
Nov: Left 4 Dead 2
Perfect Dark remake (XBLA)
Less we forget great multi platform games like Modern Warfare 2 on the "cheaper" system. If they were to bundle the system with Halo Wars or maybe Banjo? Pinata 2? Could sell gang busters.
MS, while not having the best looking holiday line up in terms of exclusives, still has the best overall lineup out of the consoles remaining for the year and Is still the cheapest system. That's quite enough reason for someone to grab one at this point. Plus with the shitty economy parents would rather buy the cheaper system for their kids.
It's just that simple.
