I have to disagree with Rogers on two points. One, that Nintendo has pursued a get rich quick scheme with Super Mario 3D World at the expense of a diverse and robust line-up of games. In 2013 we got party games, puzzle games, sports games, a fitness game, several action and action-adventure games, a console RTS for goodness sake, and lots of platformers.
Second, that a single revolutionary or well-marketed piece of software can't push hardware sales in a meaningful way. A game like Super Mario 64 or Halo: CE or Wii Sports or Gears of War CAN win the hearts and minds of consumers and cause hardware sales to skyrocket.
