Apart from Banjo Kazooie 3, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable 2. Your absolutely right.

I wouldn't consider NG2 a system seller in the slightest. It is a similar style game to DMC, but not as popular. Remember the boost the PS3 and 360 got from DMC4? Pretty much nothing, apart from a small PS3 boost in Japan. NG2 will sell well to people who already own a 360, because it is likely to be AAA. But it is way to hardcore to sell systems.
It is a very long time since the last banjo game, plus it has changed console. It pretty much makes it a new IP (apart from the hardcore Banjo fans). Unless it is as good as the last two Banjo games, I don't see it moving many consoles. Given Rare's recent performance, it is very unlikely to be as good as the other two (I hope I am wrong though). Also Platformers has become a niche genre. Just think how few platformers have come out this gen. Ratchet, SMG, Kameo... Although this could work in Banjo's favour, it indicates to me that Platformers isn't the important genre it once was (sadly).
Fable 2 is definetly a system seller, no question about that, although I think you in particular are overestimating it :P. As long as they don't announce a PC version before it comes out for 360, it will sell systems.
