I don't buy a system for any one game. I buy a system with the intention of purchasing multiple games.

Well I bought my original 360 in time for Gears of War, but I think the real reason I got one in the first place was because I was tired of waiting through the delays for the PS3.

My second 360 was bought simply because I was missing out on the exclusives that I liked when I had my first one.

I bought my PS3 simply because I'd wanted one for ages, not because of any of the launch titles.

I bought my 360 because of Oblivion, but I probably would have bought it anyway.

Same here. There is no one game that can sell a system for me. There needs to be atleast 6 games I really want before I will buy a system

Trauma Centre Second Oppinion was my killer app for the Wii.

Tomba was my reason for picking up a PS1, even thoug I already had a ps2.

A combination of Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, FFXIII and Banjo Kazooie puched me to buy a 360

I upgraded my rigin anticipation of Fallout3(andSupCom, which I could already run, but not well)if that counts. PC's need an upgrade at least every 2 years. I wouldn't have spent so much if I'd known Fallout3 is comparable graphically with Oblivion. I assumed it'd be more demanding.

I got a dreamcast and only ever owned one game - MVC2 (which I bought w/the DC), but I didn't buy the thing for that game.

Any other system I got because it was the superior system. SNES > Genesis, N64 > SNES (although my N64 was garbage, had it replaced 3 times). PSX was a gift, but PS2 > N64/PSX. Never got an Xbox, PS2 > Xbox even though it wasn't as powerful. 360 > PS2/Xbox (also a gift, I was fine w/PS2). PS3 too much damn $$. Didn't get one.

Edit: I'd considered getting a PSP for FFT:War of the Lions. But my original FFT and PSx still work, and I'd read the PSP port has framerate issues. Also the first PC I ever got was so I could play Subspace (now known as Continuum) with a friend of mine. That may be the point at which I stopped going outside :cry:

Last gen when Nintendo let me down by releasing the ultra lame Gamecube, I had to choose between PS2 and XBox. I didn't know if I trusted Microsoft enough to take a chance, but all of my friends wer playing Halo and recommended I get it. I'm glad I did!

I had a PS2 then I went to a cousins house and beat Halo CE in a night. Didn't want to get an Xbox just for one game. So when the 360 came out I got that instead of PS3 because of Halo 3. I'm pretty sure the second game I got was Halo 2, all I did though was beat the campaign.

Since this is about multiple systems, it isn't appropriate for the 360 board. Sorry.
