| Azuren said: BotW isn't a killer app for Switch because it's also on Wii U. Same with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It could be considered a Nintendo killer app but you're stretching what a killer app is by assigning it as a Switch killer app.
It'd have to be between Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, and ARMS. |
If it is selling Switches, it is a killer app. Per definition. So BOTW surely is. Yes, it is on WiiU too. Still people bought a Switch and the game instead of getting it for WiiU. So it sells Switches.
Mario Kart is usually rounding up the library, although it does sell consoles on it's own, but in this case I think it is less of a system-seller, but still a seller. Arms seems to have lower sales and might not a killer app. But Splatoon for sure is at least in Japan. No doubt about it. Mario Odyssey is surely one too.
I also would add Skyrim and Xenoblade. Both probably sell the console to some people.
Overall I doubt Switch has only one killer app. It has multiple. Which is a reason for it's success.
