It's really no surprise that it's all due to Halo 3. And that number will more than likely rise even more, because of the friend trees people have. Or word of mouth.

This actually does surprise me. I figured most people who were waiting for Halo already had a 360, since just about any Halo fan had an XBOX. I don't fit in this group though.
