What game convinced you to buy a console?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Storm Rider:
I bought a 360 for Dead Rising and Oblivion, a Wii for Zelda and Smash Brothers, and a PS2 for shitloads of RPGs, because I got it late in its lifespan. The unusual one is the DS, because it wasn't a single game that pushed me to buy it, but rather the release of the DS Lite. I was sort of on the fence until they announced the revision, so then I just preordered that and got it on the first day and then bought all the DS games I had been considering before.

Dimmukane:
I bought a 360 for Oblivion first (because my computer can't run it very well), and because of Mass Effect and a few others down the line (this was before Bioshock was even  announced).  Now, I'm just so glad I have one, because there have been quite a few really good games out and some really good ones coming. 

And that's the only one I bought for a game.  The others were due to popular demand.

Postino:
SNES was purchased for Super Mario World, and Kirby (This was before I had discovered RPGs)
Sega was purchased for Sonic
Playstation was purchased for Wild Arms, and Final Fantasy VII
Playstation 2 was purchased for Final Fantasy X and Suikoden III
Wii was purchased for Zelda and Super Smash Bros
360 was purchased for Blue Dragon
DS was purchased for Final Fantasy III and Kirby Squeak Squad
PSP was purchased for Jeane D'Arc and Final Fantasy Tactics
PS3 will eventually be purchased for Prototype, Last Remenant, and FFXIII

MlKE:
I don't think a single game has ever pushed me over the top to get a console, but there are a few games that have made me super excited to actually own the console.

PSX was Saga Frontier II
GC was Super Mario Sunshine
PS3 was MLB The Show and Heavenly Sword


but I wouldn't have bought any of those consoles for just those games, and not any others.

Melodic:
Exclusive games are the only reason I buy consoles anymore, as I far prefer PC games. Anyways, my list:

N64: Mario Kart and 007: GoldenEye

PS2: Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

Gamecube: Super Smash Brothers Melee

Xbox 360: I actually bought my Xbox while on an extended trip in the hospital, and that plus relatives willing to head down to Rogers to rent games really, really helped pass the time. I don't actually own any incredible titles (Chromehounds is fun with people, and Rainbow Six Vegas was decent), but I continually rent titles for it. GTAIV and Mass Effect will be my killer app titles for the console.
