A system seller is the kind of game that makes people gasp and say: "I've got to have one of those" regardless of the cost. It's often because of a significant leap forward in graphics, but can also obviously be because a game offers something unique, never seen before, or appeals to an entirely new audience.
Screen Play nominated titles on various systems that could be suggested as system sellers.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.

Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I honestly bought my PS3 in anticipation of FF XIII and God of War III. (Resident Evil 5 but that one is multi).
Edit:
Oh my! How did I almost forget MGS4
That one might be the biggest one.
Gran Turismo is why i will stay with Playstation.
FF 13 VS has me completely awed.
GTA IV
Resistance
Resistance 2
Uncharted
Warhawk
Metal gear 4
Midnight club los angeles
Home (not a game but im counting it)
Guitar hero 3
Assassins creed
Unreal 3
Killzone 2
Infamous
All reasons I got my ps3.
For me God of war 3 was good enough to go for PS3.
