One game can help a console but not change the tide. Monster Hunter didn't change the tide. The DS is still the top handheld in Japan.

PSp has out sold it pelnty times after Mh, before it was struggling bad.

One game can and has changed things, PS would have not done what it did with out Final Fantasy 7.   Xbox would not exist with out Halo.  DC could have been great but it lacked that one game to truely push it, imagaine DC had a FF Dragon Quest or Gran Turismo.  It lacked that one juggernaout game and it payed with its life.  (Shenmue was to be it but failed)

MS has Halo Sony has GT no matter what those two games guarantee plenty life to their respected consoles.  While FF can make or break a console in Japan.
