I don't think that only games sell consoles but not only hype either, right now there is no doubt that the 360 has the best library, and the best games in the near future, mario is big and SSBB is huge but only 2 games (my opinion) is not enough to sell consoles so the hype is helping a lot.
On the other hand all the negative hype (deserved because of HW failures) is stoping the 360 to sell more even with more games.
That is my perspective
