While I get what you're trying to say, you've made a mistake.
A killer app doesn't have to sell a large number of copies in order to be a killer app. In fact, if a game sells 50,000 copies, and every one of those copies is bought by someone who didn't previously own the system, and they bought the system specifically for that game, then it's a killer app... for those people.
"Killer app" is one of those subjective terms - different games are killer apps for different people.
