What game convinced you to buy a console?

Tehz:
This has only happened once or twice. Okay, three times.

PS2: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. I was a huge fan of the second one, and when I first heard about THPS3, I was ecstatic. I read the EGM article on it over and over again, and when I finally went out and rented the PS1 version of the third one...everything was really underwhelming and it felt and looked and played almost exactly like the second one, just in new environments. Even the create-a-skater was exactly the same. So, this convinced me to get a PS2.

Xbox: KOTOR. I got the PC version, and sure enough, my computer wasn't advanced enough to even allow me to make it past the first level. But what I played was excellent, so I decided to go for it and buy one.

Xbox 360: Oblivion. It was around E3 '05, and I was trying to decide which next-gen console was worth my dollar. Then, I read somewhere that Oblivion would be a 360 exclusive. I was a huge fan of the previous Elder Scrolls installment, Morrowind, so this gave the 360 the edge in my mind. The more I read about the 360 and its games, the more interested in it I became. Then, come launch day (or, at least soon afterwards), I had one.

Scarychips:
NES: We had it before I was born
SNES: same as NES
Game Boy Color: For Pokemon Gold then some burglars stole the GBC and Pokemon along with my 4 N64 controllers and some N64 games
Game Boy Advance: For Mario Kart but my parents didn't bought me Mario Kart, they bought me Wario Land 4
N64: Super Mario 64 and Star Fox 64
Playstation 2: For a Digimon battle game and for some Looney Tunes games, someone stole the console
Gamecube: Super Smash Bros. Melee but I got Luigi's Mansion instead
Wii: Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Jimmy the Squid:
NES: We got that for Super Mario and Tennis.
SNES: Street Fighter II Turbo. Also I really liked Donkey Kong Country.
N64: Mario 64 was the deal breaker for me. That game was freakin' awesome but the two Zelda's were the crowning glories if you ask me.
XBox: Halo, no question.
GameCube: Twilight Princess. I actually got Metroid Prime 2: Echoes first but that's because I had to wait for Twilight.

Next one up is the XBox 360 and my brother and I are getting it for Oblivion. Plus there are a bunch of other awesome games and I'm hoping to see another installment of the Prince of Persia series.

imapiratearg:
The first Halo game got me to desire an Xbox.  My dad bought my brother and I one, with two controllers and Halo: Combat Evolved.  Those were good times.
