I can't say that I have. Closest thing I guess would be the Wii for Twilight Princess (except that at the time I wanted a Wii and that was practically the only game to play on it).
If I bought a 3DS though, it'd likely be for Monster Hunter 4. That and SMT4.
believe I grabbed a ps3 specifically for metal gear solid 4.
Yep I did this, but also because it was the same price as every other blu-ray player out there. Turned out to be a good choice, I'm enjoying it more and more as the years go by.
Not a console, but I built the PC that I'm currently using right now just so I could play Diablo III. Terrible decision if I only used it to play that game.
Nope. Maybe it says more about my specific financial situation than anything else, but I've always thought it was crazy that people would justify buying an entire system to experience a single game, I just can't do that.
Mostly it has been for multiple reason instead of only just for one thing. Last time I got something just for one game was with the Vita for Lumines. I would say Killzone 2 for PS3 but that was the game that grabbed my attention and made me consider getting one.
I didn't know it at the time, but I ended up buying the Gamecube just for Wind Waker. I thought I was buying it for RE4 also, but then that was announced for PS3 and I knew I'd rather play that with a DualShock.
Actually, I guess I knew about the REmake when I bought that, and that was amazing, so I bought it for two games I s'pose.
N64 is probably the only one I bought just for one game, then. I ended up playing a lot of damn Pilotwings flying around that Mt. Rushmore and Mario at my cousin's, but it was only because of Goldeneye that I actually wanted my parents to buy one because it was my favorite movie.
PS3 for Little Big Planet. It was actually kind of worth it even if I bought the first model at full price. That game sort of pointed to the future, and now creation games are popping up everywhere. I'm buying the PS4 for LBP3 as well. Can't wait to see what the insane bump in specs will do for that game.
I would wager that every system I've ever purchased was for zero or one game. Wii U was for no games, Xbox One is for Forza 5, and PS4 is for Killzone.
Yeah, constantly. I built a $2400 PC for Battlefield 3.
Got me PS3 (the first console I've owned since my SNES) for Red Dead Redemption. Totally worth it even if it had been the only game I played on it. I've played a lot more since then, of course.
I have bought pretty much every Nintendo handheld from GB Pocket to 3DS for Pokemon. There happened to be more things I was interested in play from GBA on but I still mostly buy them for Pokemon. Hence why I choose to pick up the Pikachu 3DS so you know exactly what it is used for.
I also literally only bought the original Xbox for Fable. I got it after the 360 was out for $50 and I only own three game for it Halo 2, Fable, and KOTOR 2. I barely played any KOTOR 2 or Halo 2.
I bought a PS1 pretty much exclusively for Final Fantasy VII. In fact, I bought Final Fantasy VII the moment it came out and actually before I bought the Playstation. I was a poor university student, and had enough money for the game, but had to wait a bit to pick up the system. I also ended up playing it on an absolute piece of shit TV. A 13 inch CRT with the tube failing so the right side of the screen was smeared. It also only had an RF input, so I needed this shitty AV to RF converter that required power but didn't come with an adapter, so I wired it up to some other adapter I had lying around that wasn't quite the correct voltage, but it worked most of the time. Ghetto as fuck, wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
Not really. I only buy a console when there's several games I really want to play on it. I just don't think it's worth the money if it's just for one game.
I think the system I've owned with the least amount of games is the Dreamcast. I only remember having Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 and Skies of Arcadia. But the system was discontinued so that's probably why.
I buy all the systems for one game but this time around all the new consoles have mostly crap I am not impressed with so I am not getting any for the first time ever at launch./;
I got a GameCube for the Resident Evil REmake pretty much though it was more Capcom's initial Resident Evil is a GC exclusive franchise for main line titles. And this is why I absolutely will never trust Capcom when they say something is a platform exclusive.
