I got the PSX for a combination of JRPGs and in order to review (sports) games. I got the Xbox 360 because I preferred the Xbox to the PS2 and GC and naturally assumed more games that satisfied my tastes would be released on the 360 rather than the on other platforms.

Man, it's awesome to read some of the games that tipped the scales for you guys. There are a lot of popular levers in here, but there are a great number of games I haven't even tried yet. It's great that we all have diverging tastes, but jeebus, stop making me want to spend more money to find some of these games! :lol
yay list!
NES playing SMB on my best-mates NES
SNES wasn't 'sold' on it. I got it over Genesis because I was a Nintendo fan
PS1 news of Final Fantasy 7 made me switch sides
N64 playing GoldenEye with my mates at university compelled me to get one
Dreamcast played Soul Calibur at a kiosk, was in awe, and bought one that day
PS2 Again, wasn't 'sold' knew I was going to get one because of PS1.
Gamecube Super Mario Sunshine
XBOX I only own two XBOX games, Halo and Halo 2.
PS3 originally wasn't 'sold' because of Sony's record with PS1 and 2. I had planned to get it anyway. However, with the current gen it was plain that Japanese developed games were going to take a back seat Western developed games, and since most Western games don't really appeal to me I decided to sit it out until Final Fantasy 13 came out. But when Sony price-dropped the price of the 60gig version, the knowledge that I could smoke ganja and play RockBand with my mates, and with several hundreds in gift cards I decided to get one. MGS4 was great, but I'm still not completely sold on it though...
Wii The realisation that I could play 2D Japanese developed games until my eyes started to bleed. Plus I thought that Zelda TP looked like a cross between SoTC and Okami (unfortunately, it's not quite as good as either).
I haven't gotten a 360...yet. While I think it has the best game line up this gen, that doesn't really mean anything because I think games have been in general really weak. I do think Live is better than PSN, but not better enough for me to pay for it. I'll probably get one towards the end of the gen when I can get it cheap.

360 - gears

)

fastfoward to rabid Nintendo Fanboy buying any and all Nintendo Consoles cause they were Nintendo until:
PSX: Suikoden 1. Game was just too awesome, had to get a psx after that.
PS2: Disgaea. I had a ps2 before that, first game I bought was Tony Hawk 4 but I didn't play it much and after two weeks I sold the ps2 cause I needed food and cigarettes. But Disgaea got me to buy a ps2 again. Never regretted it.
Xbox 360: Dead Rising. Finally got Zombies done right. I couldn't resist, and never looked back.
I bought the Wii because I still love nintendo. There's no one game that made me buy it. However I still play a lot of games on it regularly.
As for the PS3. Its really going to take more than one game for me to swallow that 300+ dollar package. As it is I'm oversaturated with Wii, PC and 360 games and I'm figuring that 90% of of the ps3 games out there I can also play on my 360. There's three exclusives that are screaming at me to play however. MGS4, Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles. though I think for MgS4 and VC I'll rent a ps3 or something. Disgaea 3 though I'm suspecting like all disgaeas is like a marriage. So I'll have to own one before I play that.
As for the PC, the one thing I HAD to get was a Riva TNT2 for GLQuake back in college. Hardware Acceleration blew me away. And that puppy served me well all the way to Max Payne.

With the only two systems I've bought:
DS: Pokémon Diamond - I was watching Marriland's battle videos and it made me really want to play the series again. It was slower than I expected, but it was worth it.
PS3: Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - Since I want to work for Insomniac Games, I figured I have to keep up with thier games. In my opinion it was worth it since it's my second most played console.

Not all of these games turned out to be great but they're the games that caught my imagine enough to buy the system:
Atari 2600: Can't remember -- parents probably just bought it for Christmas. Asteroids was my original fav game on the system.
Sega Master System: Hang-on
Sega Genesis: Lakers vs. Celtics
Sega Saturn: Virtua Fighter 2
Sega Dreamcast: NFL 2K
Sony Playstation: Formula 1
Sony PS2: GTA
Xbox: Rainbow Six 3/Splinter Cell
Xbox 360: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter got me to take the leap, and the prospect of Gears of War made it easier to jump in.
Sony PS3: Killzone 2 -- that first trailer/and gameplay vid from E3 convinced me to buy the system for a game that was more than a year away. Uncharted looked good enough to make it interesting in the meantime.

This is all before I was old enough to earn enough money to buy every system, but:
N64 for Mario 64
Xbox for Halo 2
PS2 for Armored Core 2
before that a lot of the systems were bought by my brother or I just bought them for the sake of buying them. The Dreamcast or GBA were actually the first systems I bought at launch.

Most of the systems I've ever purchased were for more than one game reason, I think.
(this is only the systems I bought myself, I had previously owned a NES, Amiga 500, Mega Drive, Mega CD, Game Gear, game boy pocket + Colour, Sega Saturn and Dreamcast)
Gamecube: Before this point I mainly stuck to Sega consoles, so when Sega quit the system race I decided to hop over to a Nintendo system. I think it was probably Smash Bros Melee that sold me on it the most. That and Sonic at the time had made his home on the system, and I was hoping for a Sonic Adventure 3. Yeah, I know. :lol
In the case of the GBA I bought almost sorely for Wario ware after playing a mates copy. and getting hooked on it.
I actually caught up on the PSone sometime in 2001, mainly because I found one of those small ones for a fiver. I don't think any particular game sold me on it, it just had a lot to choose from. I mainly wanted to try out the oddities like Parappa and Vibribbon, though.
For the Playstation 2 it was actually all those retro arcade collections that came out in 2006 that made be finally buy one. Capcom Classics, Taito Legends, Midway Treasures etc. That and just like the PSone it has an insane amount of games for it, and buying this was like buying 2 systems and a DVD player in one.
I also bought a cheap X-Box at some point, mainly for it's Sega exclusives. Played JSRF and Panzer Dragoon on it and ended up selling it afterwards. Didn't particularly like it.
With the Playstation 3 it was most likely LittleBigPlanet though i think it was mainly it's features that sold me on it (60GB): to me it was all about buying something that was 3 consoles and a media player in one, and Sony consoles have been pretty faithful to me so far.

PS2 was the first console I ever got, before that I was all PC (and before that all amiga and c64). I had wanted a PS2 for a while, but I think it was Tekken 4 which really convinced me. But after I actually I got a PS2 I thought Tekken 4 was a bit disappointing, but finding games like Rachet and Clank, Sly series, Soul Calibur 2 and a ton of other games definitely made up for it.
Got X-Box 1 mainly because I wanted to play Mercenaries 1 with a good framerate (PS2 version was a mess), found a few other neat titles for it too.
Got DS because of Advance Wars.
Got an insanely cheap Gamecube last year so I could try the GC version of RE4 and a few other Capcom games. I've only barely touched that system.
I was planning to only get a PS3 this generation, but when I saw a cheap 360 last year I bought it. I had no specific games in mind, but one of the first games I played was Dead Rising which is probably still one of my favourite 360 games.
Got a PS3 this year once I found one rather cheap. Regretting the purchase because there's only been 1 or 2 games I like the for system.

Commadore C64: First console, but Barbarian showed me that I liked video games. A lot.
Mega Drive: Sonic 1
Saturn: Wipeout(PSone). Hear me out, playing Wipeout on my cousins Playstation convinced me that 3D gaming had arrived and that I needed a 32-bit system. So I got a Saturn with Tomb Raider and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for Christmas, without ever playing the system.
Game Boy: Super Mario Land 2, played this on a friend's GB and decided to get one for myself.
Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure, and this promo video my brother and I recieved for taking part in a pre-release Sega Rally contest. (some guy who'd imported the console and game months earlier won. Scum)

Xbox: Project Gotham Racing, Dead Or Alive 3 and Jet Set Radio Future. Dreamcast lives.
Gamecube: I wasn't sold on the console until REmake was released. At that point I knew it was worth the purchase, but before that, not so much.
Xbox 360: PGR3 sold me a system, but I didn't think I'd made the right decision until I played Dead Rising.
Wii: Wii sports. Sorry.
In the future:
PS3: Heavy Rain? MGS4 almost tipped me over the edge, but money was tight at the time and I got to play the whole thing without buying the machine.

PS1: Need For Speed. Seriously, does anyone else remember this game? One of the first

Dreamcast: Soul Calibur... easy, love at first sight

360: Viva Pinata. Everyone on 1Up talked about it for many weeks in a row, and it was on sale. Gears came out the same week, and it was the reason I told everyone, but damn, VP is the shit.
