Late response, but I picked up the November Official Playstation Magazine to get ahold of the Guitar Hero II demo, and the cover story was the big news that Oblivion would be a launch title. Given the way they were spouting off on it (I don't remember if they actually used the term "killer-app"), I certainly got that impression.
And yes, PGR3 totally sold me on the 360. The whole series from Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast has been one of my single favorite games and I'm a big racing game nut, so that was my killer app. It sure as hell beats out Ridge Racer 7 when it comes to racing titles. Sure, the physics aren't up to Gran Turismo or Forza snuff (though both of those pale in comparison to what's out on the PC), but the physics do make real world sense, they're just exaggerated, and that whole series has been a huge amount of fun.
I picked up DOA4 and PGR3 when I got my 360 in January. I played DOA4 once and shelved it, I've never felt the urge to play it again. I still play PGR3, though it really struggles for time with Guitar Hero.
