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.    

Look at the post right above yours.  That's the definition from Wikipedia, and supports your claim.
