think the first halo halo:ce on the xbox until it started getting other games around when xboxlive started .... that game kept the xbox alive .... that is a system seller.... think FFVII a game which put a genera and a console on the map.

most of the time the have to be exclusives to qualify, and have such a pent up demand/hype for the game that its launch effects sales for months afterwards. honestly I dont think we have really had one this gen yet.... wii sports does not sell the wii, motion controls sell the wii.

honestly the wii has turned the concept on its head it has no system sellers. the wii is a software seller for nintendo

 

I STRONGLY disagree with that.

Wii Sports is the reason so many Wii consoles have sold. Do you think the mass market would have bought the Wii because it has motion controls or because they had a fun experience playing Wii Sports Tennis or Bowling or Golf?

I know quite a few people who also bought a Wii solely for Wii Fit.

If you honestly believe that hardware sells software and that software doesn't sell hardware then you're delusional
