DS (fat) for Trauma Center
Wii for Trauma Center

I upgrade my PC everytime it can't play a PC game I NEED to play. Does that count too?

 

[Salazar]

I couldn't, considering that it's not just GAF that thinks / knows exclusivity's a joke.

 

[navii]

PSP - Lumines

thinking about a 360 just for REZ

 

[McGrathew]

PS2 - ATV Fury

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

I bought a DS for Metroid Prime: Hunters. Hunters was underwhelming, but I did get to play the wondrous Zero Mission and Fusion, which more than made up for it.

I bought a Gamecube for Metroid Prime and will eventually buy a Wii for Metroid Prime 3.

[seattle6418]

well, the 2600 i got it as a present when i was a kid. then after that it was always a game pushing me to buy a console.

first a genesis for super monaco GP II, then a saturn for daytona USA and then i stumbled with a huge story for Gran Turismo on EGM. then i bought a ps one for GT1, a ps2 for GT4 and now a PS3 for GT5.

but i did meet a lot of incrdible games in those systems, besides de "console selling" games

 

[OliveJuice]

GC - Melee

 

[koam]

I'm not sure if this counts but i'll buy a PS3 or a 360 for RockBand. Just waiting to see what the next Ps3 SKU is. If the wii version comes out before we get word of the next ps3 sku/price, i'll just get it on that.

 

[neojubei]

Bought a 360 for lost planet. not the most wise decision. Hardly play the system and game anymore.

Dreamcast for JSR (Jpn version) glad I bought a dreamcast. Bought Soul Calibur and feel in love.

PS2 for MGS2, not just for the game, I got bored with MGS2 and while in Akihabara I stumbled into a used game store and bought Devil May Cry.

EDIT: PS1 for Final Fantasy VII, how can I forgot this one. I actually bought the game first then the system.....then a memory card when i could not save.

 

[Woo-Fu]

all of them, except for the ps2.

this gen:

ps3:resistance
wii:fire emblem
360:chromehounds

 

[Regret Truth]

oh yeah

psp - locoroco

so worth it.

Same here. That and Killzone Liberation.

Also picked up a PS2 when WE11 came out a few years back. PS3 will

Spoiler

hopefully

be mine whenever LBP drops.

 

[Nizz]

Dreamcast: Resident Evil: Code Veronica
PS2: Metal Gear Solid 2
Xbox 360: Gears of War
PS3: Metal Gear Solid 4

 

[Loops]

Pc-Engine CD-Rom for Fighting Street

 

[Felix Lighter]

Bought a 360 for lost planet. WORST DECISION EVER. Hardly play the system and game anymore.

Dreamcast for JSR (Jpn version) BEST DECISION EVER. Bought Soul Calibur and feel in love.

PS2 for MGS2 BEST DECISION EVER, not just for the game, I got bored with MGS2 and while in Akihabara I stumbled into a used game store and bought Devil May Cry. BEST DECISION EVA.

How can you have multiple best decisions ever?

 

[jetsetmario]

 

[vilmer_]

360 for Dead Rising. Still my favourite game on the system.

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

SNES- FF3(6)
Playstation- FF7
PS3- Resistance
N64- Paper Mario

 

[Diablohead]

I brought a launch 360 because of pgr3, and I was also looking foward to DoA4 that got delayed by a few months.

With my other consoles I think I just brought or asked for it as a present, with the DC I asked for Sonic Adventure and for PS1 I asked for Resident Evil but with my other consoles I was given what I got, and those were some stellar games too

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Gamecube for RE4.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Super Nintendo: Super Mario World
Playstation: Final Fantasy VII/Metal Gear Solid
Playstation 2: Final Fantasy X/Metal Gear Solid 2
Game Boy: Link's Awakening
Game Boy Color: Metal Gear Solid
GBA: Legend of Zelda: The Minnish Cap
DS: Trauma Center
PSP: Dracula X Chronicles (but the first game I bought for it was Portable Ops)
Playstation 3: Metal Gear Solid 4
Wii: Twilight Princess
Dreamcast: Jet Grind Radio

 

[neojubei]

How can you have multiple best decisions ever?

Well i ended up having much fun with my dreamcast and PS2. At first i was not going to buy either system, but on a fly i bought it for one game and it ended up to be a good investment of gaming. I regret buying the 360.

 

[KTallguy]

I bought a Wii for Super Mario Galaxy.

And I bought a PS3 for MGS4.

All my other consoles were hand-me-downs.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Well i ended up having much fun with my dreamcast and PS2. At first i was not going to buy either system, but on a fly i bought it for one game and it ended up to be a good investment of gaming.

Ok, so they turned out to be very good decisions and you are very enthusiastic.

 

[JCX]

gamecube- SSBM
wii-SSBB
PS2-Kingdom hearts series
Super Nintendo- Megaman X

 

[Dai Kaiju]

I got a PS2 for Tekken Tag, PSP for Tekken 5: DR, and I'll be getting a PS3 once Tekken 6 comes out.

 

[VonGak!]

Metal Gear Solid 2. In fact, I bought the game before I bought the system.

Copy paste answer

 

[Future PhaZe]

GC for RE4 amazingly enough.

 

[Anduron]

PS2 - FFX

 

[TONX]

PS2 for Metal Gear Solid 2. Actually bought the game before the system.

Edit: Wow looks like im not the only one.

 

[qirex99]

hell yeah

SNES: Starfox
xbox:Halo:CE

3DO:Way of the Warrior! (j/k...but still great game)

 

[Zoe]

PS for FFVII (even though I already played it on the PC)

Would have bought a PS2 for FFX if the bf didn't already have one.

 

[jaydogg691]

I got an Xbox just for Halo 2. The bad thing was that the 360 was coming out the next year, so the Xbox didn't last long.

 

[Speschal K]

N64: Super Mario 64
PS1: Tomb Raider
Dreamcast: RE: Code Veronica
XBox: Halo
Gamecube: Mario Sunshine :sad:
PS2: no game, I just needed a DVD player and figured I'd get the console to go with it
Wii: Zelda and the promise of Galaxy
360: Oblivion

and in the near future
PS3: LBP

Sunshine was the only one that let me down. Maybe some day I'll give it a second chance. Maybe.

 

[revolverjgw]

No. Specific games will entice me to buy a console by their presence alone, but from there I always branch out.

 

[CTLance]

Rezbox 360.

'Nuff said.

Best decision ever. Eyes&Ears meltification due to awesome overload.

Initially I was more leaning towards owning a PS3, with no concrete purchasing plans at all. I was and still am entirely content with my Wii. Then the Rez announcement came...

Just now I wanted to play it again, only the DRM is claiming I do not own any Arcade games at all. The counter goes up and then goes down again. If this problem persists tomorrow my 360 will be the first manmade object to reach Sirius B. Arrrh. Bed now.

 

[allreal]

true story

nintendo wii - super mario galaxy

brawl is just a plus.

 

[Kadey]

Nu wai.

 

[Mar]

Pretty much every console and computer I own or have ever owned was because of one game that got me to buy. In fact it would be easier for me to list consoles I didn't buy because there has / hasn't been a game I desperately wanted yet:

N64: The one game never showed up.

XBOX 1: Same as above.

PS3: Still hasn't happened yet.

 

[bjork]

Every one of them. Have to start somewhere.

Same.

 

[Johnkers]

Mostly not. The DS sold me right from the Metriod Prime Hunters demo though, but even that was coupled with the knowing that future games would come and GBA backwards compatibility.

Funnily enough I hated the full Hunters game

 

[Shalashaska]

PS2 - MGS 2 (Game before the system)
Will buy a PS3 for MGS 4
GBA - Super Mario Advance 4 (SMB 3)

 

[greatestjediever]

360 for Blue Dragon. Ironically enough, Halo 3 came out shortly thereafter and I haven't played more than 45 minutes of BD. It didn't really capture my attention enough to want to return to it (ended up playing Mass Effect, Halo3 and CoD4 instead)

 

[Phthisis]

I bought a 360 for Lost Planet and NHL 07, but then I never ended up buying Lost Planet.

 

[SnakeXs]

PS3 for Metal Gear.
Gamecube for Zelda.
Xbox for Splinter Cell, although much less fanboy fueled than the 2 above, and more that it was the excuse to get one.

 

[BeEatNU]

Metal Gear Solid 2. In fact, I bought the game before I bought the system.

haha I did something similar, I bough the game even though I didn't have the system, I borrowed my friends ps2. Than after playing it and enjoying it soo much, I bought my own. (again)
