Well in 1994 I was 28 years old and was a gamer since I got an Atari 2600 from Service Merchandise in 1978 so I was around.
My take is that very rarely does a game really push consoles for any extended period of time. I dont believe that DKC made the masses run out and pickup a SNES. It sold 49 million consoles and DKC sold like 8 million.
When people say NSMBWii sold 15 million copies I say so what. That doesnt mean the last 15, 10,5, 4,3, 2, 1 Wii console sales were because of NSMBWii. They purchase a Wii for the library and the expectation that more new good games will come.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
