<upd_detl>I think we can consider this wasei but ソフト is a regular Japanese abbreviation so I've added "(ware)" to the lsrc info.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application#Video_games
"The term has also been applied to computer and video games that persuade consumers to buy a particular video game console or other video game hardware product over a competing one, by virtue of being exclusive to that platform. Such a game is also known in video game parlance as a "system seller"."
