Perhaps.  I think people tend to overreact to small datasets.  This gen has been different, but so was the Wii generation and everyone thought motion controls were the future.  When was the last time the wii remote, eye toy and kinect was a focal point?

I'll wait to see what happens with the S2 before jumping to strong conclusions.

He's just excited because he think graphics not being important anymore will benefit nintendo when it just means the death of console hardware in 2 more gens and everything will just be on PC. 

Why should Nintendo care about the death of traditional home consoles. That's Sony's problem (won't be MS' for too much longer). Sony is also in for a rude awakening if they think they are going to be the defacto PC storefront over Steam, good luck with that. That's all bad news for them. 

Another game I didn't mention is an obvious one ... GTAV is literally a PS3/360 game that's still selling 11 years later, two entire console generations later. 

Imagine like Tekken 2 from Playstation 1 being the 2nd or 3rd most popular game on the PS3/360 11 years later and two generations past, lol, it would be absurd to think about then, but this can happen now and will become more and more common because people don't care that much about the technology aspect in itself. You can take a PS3 era game, up the resolution a bit and it's good enough to sit next to modern games. This will get even worse with successive gens, PS4 games age even better than PS3-era games and so on and so forth.
