Sorta? They certainly helped make these more mature games popular (for better and for worse) and likely set the standard for open world games set in contemporary times and period pieces. Mario revolutionized things, GTA 3 impacted things.
Cause with how I view revolutionized, it means changing the landscape forever. Which I can't really say it fully did. And none of the GTA games afterwards ever hit the same industry changing impact that can be argued for 3. It's why I doubt the whole talk of 6 revolutionizing things again.
