Lets make this really easy.

Do system sellers exist?... forget context, forget degrees of success.

yes or no?

Such a straw man. I'm sure some girl at a point has bought a DS to play My horse adverture on it, ergo it would be a system seller if you remove all degrees of success or context.

Exactly, this, so much this. Exactly what I was getting at, by that definition every game is a system seller, the term, is stupid./

No, thats just playing with words.  We are talking about statistically obvious changes to sales.

As I said... Yes or No will do.

 

No it's not playing with anything. The term system seller is a fallacy, many people buy games for many different reasons. Some have a bigger jump then others but it is impossible to see how many people bought a system and what game made them take the plunge. in 2 years time someone may still buy a console for a game that came out this year..
