You're grossly underestimating or just downplaying brand power. If devs mention that they are making a new COD, GTA, halo, TLOU, elder scrolls, fallout, super mario, zelda without any footage being shown or any info beyond the name of the game, alot of people will buy those games no questions asked because of the brand/logo. It's no different with consoles, handhelds (nintendo) or smartphones (apple).
WIth consoles, playstation has the strongest brand power and that is one of the biggest reasons why It sells more than the competition. It's name carries more weight in the console market. With it's brand power, playstation consoles only needs to have a good launch to win a generation. The same can't be said for the others. History will show that. The PS1 and PS2 had good launches. They dominated their gens.
