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.

 

I don't know if they could make a killer app out of an Animal Crossing game but all the other games you mentioned could be killer apps.  Also it would be funny if the next Brawl game would really be called Super Smash Brothers Nespresso.
