No. Final Fantasy VII and Gran Turismo by themselves or maybe even combined weren't enough for PS1 to kick the butts of the competition. It was those titles, marketing, and even more titles that turned the tide.
One of the closest is Wii Sports. It was packed in with the console for years in all major regions except Japan. Wii Sports may be a tech demo, but there is hours of fun to have with it.

Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, and Wii Sports Resort all helped Wii crack over 100 million units.
