Well, to be fair the Wii doesn't have a killer app either (I would have said ZeldaTP but that was also on Cube).

360 didn't get a killer app till Gears. I wouldn't call that embarassing, it's just how console launches go.

On the other hand, cows still have the PS2 (GOW2, FFXII, Burnout: Dominator).

Resistance is somewhat of a killer app. It's one of the best console shooters I've ever played.

None of those games are exclusive, so they cannot be considered a killer-app.

The 360 never had a killer app until Gears. However, it did have a great lineup of games within 5 months of launch, which is different.

It is rare for a system to have a killer app in the first year. I think the only consoles to do this were the NES (Super Mario Bros), Sega Genesis (Sonic), N64 (Super Mario 64), and the Xbox (Halo).

It was a good game, but it was no where near a killer app.

The PC version was different and the other older console versions shouldn't even be counted.

Yeah, The pc version was a fps, and considerably worse.  But in technical terms, graw was on the pc as well.  But to be fair, I don't know anyone who buys a system based on the technical definition of exclusive.

Why not? The games are ports. It doesn't matter if they're on older consoles or not. Going by your logic, does that mean that if Ninja Gaiden Sigma is AAA, then it will be a PS3 exclusive killer app?

If by killer app. it's meant the thing that makes people run out and buy the system just for that one thing (is there any other definition) then it's got to be the Wii remote and nunchuk.

men lie, women lie, cows lie....but numbers don't lie

the numbers show that wario ware has outsold EVERY game in the entire PS3 lineup

wario ware has also outscored every PS3 exclusive to date here at gamespot

those numbers right there verify the FACT that wario ware is more of a killer app than anything the PS3 has to offer

Then every console except N64 and Xbox1 should be very embarassed. 360 didn't get a killer app until a full year after release. PS3 is a the least matching 360's first months with Resistance, Motorstorm, Virtua Fighter 5, Oblivion, and the ports. Starting with Lair in July there are many very good games coming. Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Killzone2, UT3, Rachet and Clank, GTA4, MGS4 (maybe 2008), Home going up, and other multiplats.

_Peoples_Champ_

Resistance is not killer app. it's got less than 90% at gamerankings.com

Oh so I see. You only play games that score 90% and above. Oh I get it.

All I'm going to say is you are missing out on a lot of great games. Your pretty much a disgrace to gamers in general. And you made yourself look like a complete fool with your comments.

Have a nice day.

Zelda sold the Wii to me. That makes it a killer app to me. It was worth getting the game as soon as possible that I bought a Wii and Zelda: TP before Zelda even came out on GC. Making me go out and buy a system for one game when I really don't want it all that much right away ( I wouldve rather waited for Warioware before I bought the system) defines a killer app to me.
