I re-bought a gamecube for RE4. Regretted rather quickly especially because it later also came out on PS2.

Also bought the first Xbox for Halo.

 

[elf_boobs]

Bought a N64 to play Ocarina of Time, which is the only game I ever owned for the system.

 

[Exentryk]

PSP for Crisis Core
Wii for Xenoblade


Will buy:

Wii U for "X" by Monolith Soft
PS4 for FFXV

 

[Kagami]

I absolutely loved the Gyakuten Saiban (Phoenix Wright) games on GBA.
When they announced that the port of the first one to DS would add a fifth chapter, I bought a Nintendo DS to play it.
So I bought a system just for one-fifth of one game.

 

[haikira]

While I already owned a PS2, for many games, I imported an American PS2 solely to play MGS2 early. If that counts.

I definitely bought the Gamecube at the time, solely for Super Smash Bros. Melee.

 

[Currygan]

the Atari Lynx for that Batman game. It was arse

 

[CmdBash]

Persona 4 Golden was my sole reason for getting a ps vita, though I have also come to enjoy the system's other offerings.

 

[sleuthy]

I originally bought PS2 just for MGS2, obviously it quickly got bucketload of other fantastic games to keep me interested after that.
No such luck with Vita after Persona 4 Golden...

 

[KHlover]

Bought a PSVita for

No regrets

 

[Birathen]

Switched back to Ps3 for Demons souls. That's the only time one game ruled over my console decision.

 

[Pachimari]

Bought a GameCube for The Twin Snakes alone.

 

[Mieu]

DS lite for Suikoden Tierkreis

 

[Koozek]

My Wii for TP and later for SS^^ The only two games I have bought for it since.

 

[Mihos]

I bought a WiiU because I didn't have one, but knew I would want to play Bayonetta 2 one day.

 

[meppi]

Just one: The Atari Jaguar for Tempest 2000. No regrets.

I tend to always buy Sony systems for WipEout until the PS4 that is, but certainly not with the idea of not getting anything else worthwhile, so those don't really count.

 

[careless mango]

I'd like to say no but I just (past week) bought a PS2 for Hype The Time Quest. I couldn't get it to work on PC and I want to be able to play it. Technically I can play MGS1 too now but I really don't feel like it. Already beat it so many times back when.

 

[mfaex]

A Dreamcast for Marvel vs Capcom 2. Still have it, still play it.

 

[tornjaw]

I bought the Sega Saturn for the one, and only, game I own on the system: Nights.

 

[LonelySeal]

Wii for smash bros. Yea i played other games on it but that was cause my brother bought them + tbh i didnt play them much(sorry super mario galaxy, i dont see why youre considered the best mario game). Dont regret the purchase at all.

 

[Flakster99]

Not only did I buy a Wii for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, not only did the game live up to my extremely high expectations, I waited in line on a very cold day for 5+ hours for that game, and for the Wii. Awesome memories.

 

[pants]

Wii - Monster Hunter Tri

 

[Trunx28]

PS Vita for Uncharted
3DS XL for Mario 3D Land
SNES for Secret of Mana
Game Boy for Super Mario Land
Nintendo 64 for GoldenEye #sogood.gif

 

[The Iron Yuppie]

Similar story to OP. Ended up buying a Gamecube just for RE4. IIRC, that was late gen enough that the machine was just $100, eventually ended up with a couple more games: Metroid Prime 1, REmake, and Zelda Twilight Princess.

 

[Dmi3k]

I bought an Xbox360 and a 42" TV for Dance Central.
No regrets.

 

[marcincz]

Yes.

Dreamcast for Shenmue. It was worth of it.

 

[jimmypython]

PSP - Monster Hunter
Wii - Monster Hunter
3DS - Monster Hunter

Will buy WiiU if they do a Monster Hunter 4HD

 

[Naminator]

I bought OG Xbox for Halo CE.

I also bought a PS3 for God of War 3/Collection, does that count?

 

[GrizzleBoy]

I bought a 360 to play MW2.

I already had a PS3.


I know, I know.

 

[Cyprus]

I had a decent dell pc. I got Diablo 3, but the 2nd Gen i5's on board video didn't play it well enough. So I bought a video card, a 550ti. At the time I was big into bf3 on xbox, and for kicks purchased bf3 on pc for $8 on sale. The game ran like crap though with my sub part dual core hyperthreaded cpu. So I ended up buying a new mb, cpu, case and power supply. So, yes I built a pc for battlefield 3. I'm still a huge battlefield fanboys, and will not be a console gamer next generation, or at least until the price drops. Next Gen starts at the end of the month for me when bf4 releases.

 

[Samyy]

Vita for P4G
Obviously now theres a lot more stuff I want for it but at the time it was just Persona.

 

[Yoshichan]

PS3 (FFVII remake... yea shut up!)

Hahaha!

 

[MrAlwaysRight]

N64 for International Superstar Soccer 64

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Yup...my SNES for Street Fighter 2...turned out to be my favorite console to date .

 

[Celegus]

Crystal Chronicles. So many Gameboy Advances. So. Many.

 

[MR BLACKMAGIK]

I was about to post that I never have and never will, but then I realized that I got the Xbox for Halo 2. Then again that was when I was young and I didn't actually pay for it so... Never have, never will!

 

[sixteen-bit]

I bought my 3DS for Megaman Legends 3.

Epic Fail.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Bought 360 for halo 3. Ps3 dmc4. After i sold my ps3 fat i rebought it for the last guardian. I bought snes for donkey kong countrt.

 

[raven777]

Xbox 360 - Halo 4

PSP - Monster Hunter

Neo Geo Pocket Color - The King of Fighters R2

PS3 - Final Fantasy Versus XIII ( yea I know....right?)

and I am planning to buy 3DS just for Monster Hunter 4

 

[daxy]

Nope, but for a couple of months now I've been on the fence about picking up a Vita just to be able to play P4G.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

PS1. Spyro. Loved it. Went back to playing Saturn.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Gamecube. Two actually at the time. I bought more, but initially it was for Metroid Prime and Windwaker.

 

[TheUsual]

I bought Fire Emblem Awakening for the 3DS...still have yet to buy a 3DS. One of these days...

 

[Goku]

I bought a PS3 just for Tekken 5: DR Online

 

[E92 M3]

Yes, initially, for this game:

 

[Watevaman]

Well I essentially waited for MGS4 to come out to buy a PS3, so I guess so.

And I'm actually in the same boat that you were OP. I've been considering picking up a Gamecube simply for RE:0 and REmake. Considering they're only like $30 or something now I guess it's time.

edit: oh, I totally forgot that I have bought a 360 on 2 occasions for one game. First time was Forza 3. I sold that one when I got bored of just one game and then ended up buying a 360 again for Forza 4. Now it's too late to sell that one for any good money.

 

[gpRYme]

N64 for Ocarina

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Few times.

Megadrive was bought for Ghouls 'n Ghosts but I got The Super Shinobi first instead as it looked better. Mega CD for Power Drift and it was never released.

Supergun for SFII CE.

PlayStation for Ridge Racer, Saturn for Daytona USA.

Bought a PC just for Counter-Strike and a whole new one a couple of weeks later for better frame rates.

Now I'm getting an Xbox One for Forza 5, although I'm looking forward to the next Forzas too.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Gamecube for ResiRemake
Xbox 360 for Dead Rising
PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

I wouldnt say for it, But Ninja gaiden sigma heavily influnced my decision to get a PS3.

DMC4 getting a release date kinda cemented it.


I own a WiiU soley for Bayonetta 2.
