Only time I bought a system for a single game was PS1 for FF7. So worth it, especially after I found Tekken 2, Wipeout XL, etc. Those were the days.

Quoted once more. At least 5-10 games, depending on the price of the system.Jive Turkey said:
I bought a PS3 (80GB BC) just for COD4. I realize that I could have bought it for 360 or PC, but I had none of the three at the time so I went with the PS3 for BR. I also bought an HDTV for it as well (Samsung LN-T4071F).
I decided to go with the 80GB over the 60GB (which were the same price at the time) because the 80 had 20GBs of extra space and Motorstorm (which I could and did sell), but in retrospect I should have went with the 60GB for the superior BC. I want to get another one for my bedroom setup, and as I am banking on the Slim not having BC (well at least not hardware BC), I will probably end up getting a 60GB in the near future.
Since some of my saves are locked, can I simply swap the HDs as I plan on using the 60Gb as my main?
Edit: I just remembered that I bought a PS2 just for GT3, I bought the bundle in fact.

Mega Drive: Sonic
Super Nes: My father gave it to me and I actually didn't wanted it since I already had a Genesis. The insane library won me over the years while mega drive became just a Sonic player.
N64: Mario 64
Dreamcast: Street Fighter III: 3rd strike
Wii: Wiisports and Legend of Zelda: TP (surprisingly enough, I enjoyed the first much more than the former) + Metroid Prime and a loadcrap of GCN games
OBS: I actually bought RE4 for gamecube a few months after it lauched , but played it in my friends GCN. So it didn't sold any system.

NES - Super Mario, I took one look and asked myself why I still had an Atari!
N64 - Rogue Squadron 1 (Cant remember what it was called)
Playstation1 - Warhawk
Dreamcast - Not actually a game but I thought it was awesome you could surf the web on it... ended up loving this super awesome space shooter on there but the name eludes me
OXB - I must admit I bought it because of HALO
Game cube - Rogue Squadron 2
That's where it ended... every other console has been for the love of multiple games. Though if I were to reccomend one game to a 360 guy and he could play online it would be Chromehounds!

I intended to go PS3/Wii this gen, we were going to have all consoles at work anyway so I figured I'd get only two consoles this time, but.. then came Gears of War. Of course I bought more games after GoW (most notably GoW2), but the GoW games get 95% of my time with the system.

Only one I can think of is a Gameboy Color for Pokemon Blue. Every other, there were a bunch of games out I wanted to play.

Never had any...
SNES from my parents, I have been forced...
N64 because I was a fanatic fanboy...
Gamecube in 2006 because it was too cheap and I had too much money
Wii because of the revolutionizing controls...
Systemseller does not work for me:lol

I bought the...
- SNES just for Donkey Kong Country.
- N64 just for Super Mario 64.
- Gameboy Advance just for Pokemon games.
- PS2 just for Ratchet and Clank
- Original Xbox just for Halo.
- PS3 just for Unreal Tournament 3. (A pretty bad move on my part lol)
- Xbox 360 mainly for future Halo games.
Each system has provided much more than I initially thought they would though.. so overall each system exceed my expectations.

This.
Also a Xbox for Halo.
GCN for Meele (I latered got some other games that I truly enjoyed and rented the hell out of others)
Wii for Brawl (I actually brought Super Paper Mario and SMG before it actually came out but that was my main intention in the first place. Now I dont really play my Wii anymore due to Brawl's online and 2008's E3 and holiday season for NIntendo just put me down too much)
360 for Halo 3 (I was already playing it on my step bros 360 but once me and my brothers got our own we were able to take it to our main house and get on XBL. I later got a ton of games for it during 2008 holiday season but it just recently got its first RRoD) :\

This thread is less "when has one game sold you on an entire system" and more "well, this game was the breaking point," but there is actually one single time where I bought a system solely for one game and that's the PSP I purchased a couple months ago to play Persona.
I got Final Fantasy Tactics, Jeanne d'Arc, DJ Max (both Fever and Clazziquai), and Patapon in the meantime, but Persona could be the only game on the system and I still would have bit.

I bought a PS2 for Eyetoy Groove (seriously).
I bought a Wii for Wii Sports.
I bought a Gamecube for Pikmin.
I bought an Amiga CD32 for Simon the Sorceror.
On the flip side, I bought a PAL launch 360 and it didn't even occur to me until I went to pick it up that I had no idea what game(s) I wanted or should buy for it.

-Genesis was a bday gift, came with SoR2
-GameGear, same deal but with Xmen
-PlayStation for Twisted Metal 2 (had no idea what games were out for it really, and my second game was RE)
-Got my own PC for Quake 3, Half-Life, and Red Alert 1 (RA2 came out shortly after- no brainer)
-was waaaaaaaaaaaaay LTTP with PS2 in a sense, didn't get one till mid-2003, random bunch of used games until i figured out what to get
-PSP because of the handful of console franchises putting their stuff out there
-DS for Animal Crossing and Clubhouse Games (shut up that game is gnarly dude)
-PS3 for Resistance and a few others, mostly things just on the horizon and for all of the usual Sony franchises fated to make the transition
EDIT:
-oops, Wii for the fact that my gf didn't like games and i loved her very much

PS2 for Devil May Cry. After I saw DMC I HAD to get a PS2. Silent Hill 2 helped.
And I'm about to get a 360 for Shadow Complex and the Perfect Dark port makes the decision easier (finally be able to play PD with a decent framerate!). Also wouldn't mind finally being able to play Halo 3 (single player, don't care about the multiplayer).

I wouldn't say I bought a PS3 specifically for MGS4, as there were a number of titles that piqued my interest(Heavy Rain/Trico, namely), but I got it day and date when MGS4 came out.
Also, I bought a GameBoy for Pokemon, and those are the only games I have on it. Also, I bought a GBA for Golden Sun, later got Advance Wars, and those are the only 2 games I have for it.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
First system I ever actually asked for was Sega Saturn for Nights. Next was PS for FF7. Finally N64 for Mario 64. Man that was the golden age of mascot characters.. N64 was the last system I bought until 2006 when I got a PS2 for FF12 (and to finally play 10). Bought my J-Wii last year for Twilight Princess and Galaxy, and bought my J-PS3 for Valkyria Chronicles (I ended up buying the J and USA version).

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It's not quite as bad as it sounds. I sold it for more than it will probably cost to rebuy it, (don't give a shit about BC) and the next one won't double as a space heater.LiquidMetal14 said:
Definitely Super Mario 64.
I was still sucking in Donkey Kong Country 3 and Super Mario World 2 when the PSX/Saturn/N64 thing happened. Crash Bandicoot on PSX was pretty awesome, but one minute with Mario 64 at a Wal-Mart kiosk completely sold me.
Man, my jaw really dropped. I couldn't believe it was really 3D. I could go anywhere, I could jump off the draw-bridge into the water, climb trees, do triple jumps! I don't think anything will ever impress me as much as my first time playing Mario 64.

PS2 for FFX. I was a die hard nintendo fan ever since i started gaming and getting a ps2 made me feel dirty. Like a traitor. Glad i passed that phase early. I would have missed out on a ton of games if i didnt.
