Not for one game, no, but I got a Gamecube so I could play Fire Emblem and Tales of Symphonia. I had no intent to get any other games.

I got my Vita for Persona 4 Golden. I got my Wii U for Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (I asked for it for Christmas when the Wind Waker HD Bundle was available, but that game is the real reason I wanted it).
Play Metroid Prime. The best First Person Shooter ever made.Quote:

PS1: FFVII ~ disappointed but FFTactics and Xenogears made me happy I bought it.
PS2: MGS2 and FFX ~ Took much longer to redeem this console for me.
PS3: MGS4 and FFXIII ~ Still kind of regret buying this console
Wii: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess ~ fantastic first game, wish it had a better library.
PSP: Dissidia ~ Good system but my DS still owns my soul.
3DS: Shin Megami Tensei IV ~ Didn't disappoint.
PS2: Metal Gear Solid 2
N64: Pokemon Stadium
360: Dead Rising
I should've got more games for the N64 - never played any Zelda or Mario! - but beyond that I think it's worked out brilliantly all round.
I wanted and was gifted a PSX primarily for Wipeout.
Got a 360 for Dead Rising.
Got a 3DS for Pokemon X/Y.
I always buy a console for a particular game or games. There's no reason to buy it until games you like are out for it. Usually it's more than one game though. For me it was:
Playstation 2 - Final Fantasy X, all the old PS1 games since I never had PS1
Wii - Twilight Princess, all the old Gamecube games since I never had a Gamecube
Playstation 3 - Final Fantasy XIII, MGS4
DS - don't remember, I played so many great DS games
3DS - Kingdom Hearts 3D
Hey my list is pretty similar to WK's!
This is exactly how/why I purchased consoles as a child (or asked for them).
SNES for Donkey Kong Country
PS1 for Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
N64 for Pokemon Snap
PS2 for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
I got the Nintendo DS to play Phoenix Wright.
Worth it.
