Topic: Nintendo Dry spell - Give me hope

I think it's weird that the concept of the "killer app" died last gen and yet people are looking for that one game to make them buy a Wii U.

All Wii Sports aside, of course.

I was just about to counter you and then I saw the spoiler text. Still, why would you say the concept of killer app is dead? I never heard of it dying and it seems to me the idea is still very much alive.

I'm pretty sure last gen was the one where no single game justified the cost of either of the HD consoles.  I thought we had a whole thread about this?

I completely and utterly disagree. Though I suppose this depends on your taste in game(s).

PS3 had a killer app, it was called Blu Ray and it nearly killed the PS3.
