A launch title is a Video Game that has been made available to consumers synchronously with its respective Video Game Console , meaning they are the only available games at the time of the console's launch. Because they provide First Impression s of the console's features and technical abilities, they are extremely important in the Video Game Industry , and many launch titles have been Killer App s. QUALITY VS. QUANTITY Historically, the number of launch titles has been an important factor in deciding the success of a gaming platform. The more games available at launch, the higher the chances that players will find something that interests them. However, the same importance applies to game quality: poor quality games don't sell as well in the long term as high quality ones. When gearing up for a major console launch, developers and publishers have a decision to make. They can release a large number of launch titles, often accompanied by the promise of more soon after launch, or they can release a few extremely strong titles, or a killer game. Whilst releasing a large number of extremely strong titles is of course preferred, this may not be practical. To balance these choices, developers will often supplement one or two strong titles with third-party or licensed titles to bolster the number of launch titles.
