You can do an entire 10-min segment on Nintendo controllers alone in my opinion, which I would LOVE to see. Going through all the different prototype and failed releases. To make it more appealing to the general audience, maybe extend it into a piece about accessories, like the Rumble Vest on N64. That thing was a beast.
At least the PS3 has MGS4 now, while a bit geared towards the hardcore gamer, it's the closest to a killer app they have right now.
In all reality though, I don't think a console's success relies on killer apps as much anymore, I think it really revolves around their support (online mostly). Microsoft has their Xbox Live infrastructure nailed down, where PS3's (free) PSN is really lagging behind in terms of features / support (HOME is still MIA, in-game XMB just added, non-mandatory Trophy support).
