But a lot of people also bought the PS3 on launch day and for the next couple of years because it was a really cheap Blu-ray player.  Nintendo on the other hand does need a killer app at launch or close to lauch if they want to charge $400 for their next console.

Anything from the list below would serve as a killer app for launch:

- GTA5 if rumours are true and if the game doesn't suck.

- Mario Kart Café

- Animal Crossing Café

- Super Mario café

- Super Smash Bros. Nespresso

- Café Sports

- Coffe Fit (specially if it launches by summer 2012)

-  And of course, the Etc IP and the Unknown franchise are also big players in this league.

 

As you can see, finding a killer app to justify a 400$ pricetag isn't that hard.
