Not sure what point you are making.  A new console needs support.  It cannot rely on 3rd party studios alone the OEM needs to have their own games which are definitely going to be exclusive and separate the new console from the competition.  You say neither have killer apps, well I disagree.  Both have games coming that consumers believe are killer apps.  Those games might not be killer for you or I but then again, I am not purchasing either on launch.

 

A killer app is something that seriously moves hardware and the only type of app that sony and microsoft have are halo and gt. Oh I know that it can't just rely on 3rd parties alone however what both first parties are offering isn't killer app plus they won't be putting out titles constantly post launch window. 

I believe any good launch should always have at least 3 solid if not top AAA exclusives at the beginning or start within the first year to keep sales on a nice strong pace.  I believe Sony and MS has very solid titles that may not be system sellers by themselves but together with other titles coming making for a strong system launch.
