Shooters are the …
Shooters are the most popular because they are the easiest to pick up and play (”point and click” gameplay). I can’t make much of an argument for fps, except that Doom should be mentioned too. MGS definitely influenced story telling and cinematics, and mario influenced gaming all around. Games today however, are becoming less and less linear. People crave variety, and GTA 3 was landmark: story, “freedom”, selection of multiple gameplay. (Survival horror is a niche market in the VG world.)

How did Wolfenstein …
How did Wolfenstein win? Just because you talk a lot and saying the same thing over and over again doesn’t mean he had the most convincing argument. Mario brothers is definetely the best because even people that don’t usually play video games all know about Mario Brothers. My mom even knows who they are and she’s old.

So basically, the …
So basically, the FIRST games were popularized most by Mario. Games of today are split between two gaming aspects, linear and freedom based. Assassins Creed, GTA, Prototype, etc, are all example of freedom type. All genres can fit into these categories, or a mix of the two (Uncharted). No one franchise can really take credit for todays gameplay. Most influential games of today: GTA3 (freedom), MGS 2 (stealth, story, cinematics), Doom(online-play/fps), Survival horror = Capcom, google that.

Silly arguments. …
Silly arguments. Each game influenced it’s own genre. Wolfenstien with FPS, AotD with survival-horror, Metal Gear w/darker storied adventure, and Mario with side-scroller adventures and more “light hearted” adventures. What about Street Fighter 2 influencing fighting games? Or Warcraft with real-time strategy? Civilization with 4X? Sierra’s Quest series’ on adventure games in general? Just can’t be comparing them all.

They should have put Grand Theft Auto up there; it was amazingly inspirational (I won’t go into they ways, but you know why anyway), and personally I think it deserved to be up there more than Alone in the Dark.
