True System Sellers. What systems have you bought for ONE game?
#1
With the talk about system sellers out there, what game(s) have been true system sellers to you, in the sense that you had to buy a system to play said game?
Let me clarify the question: What system have you bought because you just had to have that one game for it? And if you're going to look at it like "Well, I bought it because I really wanted one game, but all the other games made the decision easier." fine, but just tell the game that pushed you over the edge. I bought a PS1 because I had to have Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. I played it at a friend's house and thought it was just about the pinnacle of gaming (and then THPS2 came out). I bought a PS2 because I played GTA3 at a friend's house, and then determined that was actually the pinnacle of gaming (and then Vice City came out). I bought a PS3 because of MGS4. Not so much because I thought the game would be unbelievably awesome or anything, but because I just had to know how the story ended at that point, and I knew it wasn't coming to the 360 soon if ever. |

pretty sure i got a Sega CD for Sonic CD, but looking back, it was really for Lunar 1 & 2.
I got a PS1 for Resident Evil 1 (Tobal 1 was just out and i really wanted that FF VII demo, too). Dreamcast, id played a japanese one at a local comic shop and was sold on Sonic Adventure. i also recall going to Toys R' Us like every night to play the booth they had of Mario64, saved up just for that game. no regrets on any of these. |

I wouldn't say that I bought any system for just one game, but I could tell you the games which helped pull the trigger.

new pc rig for hl2.
360 for dead rising (still my game of the generation). psp for wipeout, ended up enjoying it for the tacticals. ps3 for motorstorm (i was tired of wasting my lunch-break time at bestbuy playing it :lol ) Can't remember for which game i picked up a ds for, i think it was for dragon quest 9 megaton but then i touched dq4 and came to the conclusion that's it's just not my kind of rpgs. |

360: Halo 3
PS3: Disgaea 3 Wii: SSBB I haven't really played a whole lot of the last two yet, and I think I'm mostly done with Halo 3 since I don't really hang out with the people I played the multiplayer with anymore, and I'm not really a big Halo fan outside of local mp. All three systems have plenty of other games, anyway. And yeah, it's more that said game tipped me over the edge than me buying the system for only one game. |

I bought PS1 for FF7. Honestly wouldn't have likely ended up with one if it weren't for that game.
I guess I bought a PS2 for FFX, too :-p Totally worth it, though. PS2 rules. I bought a Wii for the "superior" version of Twiglet Princess. Slightly regretted it, but oh well. Oh yeah, and bought an Xbox 360 because I really wanted PGR3 and Racer Racer 6. |
