As far as i can see the only system seller this gen is Wii Sports. Halo 3 and MGS4 less so. GTA4 did nothing and that was the biggest "system seller" game talked up as such.

And Halo 3 gave a massive boost to the X360. In fact, I'm serious, there are people who say it is the best 360 game available.

Halo 3 gave a temporary boost to the 360, and it was far from massive. After about three weeks, sales had crashed and burned back to pre-sale levels plus the console's normal growth, leaving nothing more that can be directly traced back to Halo 3 in particular. In essence, it faded back into the gestalt of the console's catalog, which certainly sells more systems for each game added to it (thus the normal growth in sales), but the sales from it can't be tracked back to any one game.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
