I agree with this post and am somewhat disappointed it was largely overlooked. The problem then becomes of course, that it is impossible to quantify the effect that a given game has. Wii Sports is clearly the biggest system seller this gen, but I don't doubt that Halo 3 moved several million 360's all by itself.
