(US ONLY) Will Halo 5: Guardians be the game that puts Xbone and PS4 to neck & neck?

I agree with almost everything except for the part about no other game having the impact as the 4 games mentioned. Pokémon definitely fits that as well as Tetris, perhaps even Nintendogs, Wii Sports & Brain Age.

Well, I was thinking home consoles, but yeah, Tetris and Pokemon were definitely huge. Tetris was the killer app at launch for the Game Boy, and while the system sold well throughout the 90s it reached far greater heights after Pokemon debuted. I'm not sure about the impacts of those other games on DS sales, though. I'd have to go look through the sales figures and see, but it seems that the DS really took off after the DS Lite came out.

DS was probably a combination of things, DS Lite+Brain Age+Nintendogs+New Super Mario Bros+Mario Kart DS+Animal Crossing all within roughly a year was probably huge for the system.
