OoT wasn't a killer app on the N64?  Are you kidding me?  7.6 million in sales on a 33 million userbase? 


That made it a hit game, not a killer app. Call of Duty sells a lot, but it doesn't tend to give the PS3 and 360 sales boosts (at least not huge ones like with Monster Hunter on PSP and Nintendogs on the DS). These kinds of games tend to sell to the existing customers.

I still don't see how you are claiming that OoT was not a killer app.  I know plenty of PS gamers that bought an N64 just for that game.   And on that note, I know a few PSP owners that are getting a 3DS for OoT.

Software sells hardware. The early launch period didn't really have much software but starting with the summer period, it's an all out barrage of heavy hitting software.

Oh? Which ones?

Ocarina of Time
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries
Star Fox 64
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Mario 3DS
Mario Kart 3DS
MGS3
MegaMan Legends 3

A couple of others are tentative and there is always Nintendo's E3 surprises.
