A killer game or system seller is a kind of game that makes a consumer want to purchase a console primarily for that game. It's often because of a significant leap forward in graphics, but can also be because a game offers something unique, never seen before, critical acclaim, or appeals to an entirely new audience. Companies try to put out at least one system seller during the launch of a console in order to convince people to purchase it. In the case of PC gaming, a gamer may spend money upgrading computer parts to play the game at high settings.

  • A killer game or system seller is a kind of game that makes a consumer want to purchase a console primarily for that game. It's often because of a significant leap forward in graphics, but can also be because a game offers something unique, never seen before, critical acclaim, or appeals to an entirely new audience.

In the case of PC gaming, a gamer may spend money upgrading computer parts to play the game at high settings. Exclusives tend to be better system sellers than cross-platform games. Additionally, a sequel on a new console is usually a big system seller (e.g. Halo 3 on Xbox 360). However, a sequel released on the original game's console may not generate higher system sales, because gamers who wanted that type of game will have already purchased the console for the original (e.g. Halo 2 on Xbox). Typically, a good game will cause some sort of hardware bump, but only a killer game provides a large and sustained system boost. A killer game is nearly always a best seller, but a best selling game is not always a system seller.
