I would say that franchises that have shifted a lot of consoles in the past have been Mario platformers, Sonic games, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Metal Gear, Wipeout, Dragon Quest + Final Fantasy (mainly in Japan though) Gran Turismo, Pokemon and Tetris.
This current generation is quite different however. The main drivers for the HD consoles haven't changed all that much, and have had much less effect as well. But on the Nintendo side we now have Brain Training and Nintendogs for the DS and Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit for the Wii. And on the PSP side (in Japan) Monster hunter has meant the revival of the PSP.
It's actually a huge change!
