A system can only have "1" killer app just as a painter can only have 1 msterpiece. A killer app refers to the game that pushes the system to is maximum potential or as close as it can be gotten to.

Nintendo has never maxed out one of there system, ever.  All killer apps on Nintendo systems have been made by third parties.

How much something sells does not determine if it is a killer app.

What?

A killer app is the application that makes people want to buy a product.  It has nothing to do with maxing out a video game console.

It really doesn't need to be limited to one either.  However, if you insist on limiting it to one, then Wii Sports is clearly the killer app for the Wii.

Me and you seem to have received two completely different definitions of the words killer app.

Though, even by the definiton that you are using, Wii Sports wouldn't fit because people didn't by the Wii "for" Wii Sports. The closest thing I can think of to being a killer app for the Wii is  Super Smash Brothers Brawl

The defintion you are using refers to the 1 game above all else that would drive people to buy the game. The word refers specifically to that one piece of software that drives people to buy a piece of hardware morso than anything other.

 I suppose I could have confused those words with something similar. Oh well.

also a painter can have mroe than one masterpiece as art is subjective to the beholder.

Having more than one masterpiece would defeat the purpose of the word. It refers to the creators/authors greatest work out of all that he has done.

How different people perceive it should be irrevelent to that, else wise the word has no meaning.
