A killer app by definition is a peice of software that raises hardware sales substantailly. Anything that does not do that cannot be called a killer app.

But Shenmue and Shenmue II were Killer APP's and didn't do much for SEGA Dreamcast Sales I believe. 

 

Some people refer to the best games on a sytem as killer apps.  However, many on this site, as it is a sales site, refer to a killer app as something that is extremely popular and sells the system and itself - alot. 

By his definition, Shenmue proabably wasn't a killer app.

Agreed, but sometimes it also an be both like Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid and Virtua Fighter.
