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.

Yet the PS2 launch line up wasn't stellar and it dominated.

There was only the Sega Saturn to contend with and hype was so large for the PS2 it outstripped the worth of the console compared to the Saturn.  I know I was one of those people who thought what the Saturn offered was way better than the PS2 at launch but oh well.

You mean dreamcast ? 

So how about that PS1 launch too also. I'm pretty sure it didn't have great titles either.
