Agreed.

I already stated this in another thread, but it bears repeating: I do not think any game alone can move a console, more than at most a couple of hundred thousand. Having a good reputation, word-of-mouth and overall gaming-catalog (current and future) are more important than any given game.
I agree with the sentiment, but on the other hand:
Super Mario Bros. (1)
Tetris (Game Boy)
Super Mario 64
Wii Sports
Wii Fit
(I admit that it's too soon to call the last part of my list, and the Wii shortages complicate the data possibly to the point that it's impossible to say, but I'm pretty confident it's true) 

Obviously one game cannot singlehandedly change the fortunes of a console, but it can actually move more consoles than you'd think.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
