These articles have been written since it launched, the console is pretty close to two years old now; if there was ever to be a comeback, we would have seen some sort of signs of it already. An expected but rather short sales bump due to the biggest title ever to release on the platform is not such a sign.
The whole "software sells hardware" reasoning is highly stylized and a question of definition anyway (since consoles entirely without games would, of course, not sell at all).
Besides; even the Wii U's arguably biggest hit has tapered out, which makes it puzzling that so many are still hinging or lesser titles to perform miracles. The "but it's the complete software library that gains traction for hardware sales after a while" sentiments are also of little value when the hardware remains poorly planned and unappealing to the vast majority of both markets.
I wonder how long this discussion will continue, I have no doubts that someone will write a similar piece at this time next year and I'll probably repeat myself to no avail (like now).
