Games selling systems
Have you ever bought a console or handheld solely for the purpose of playing a single game for it? Been in a situation where there turned out to be plenty of other games for it that you could enjoy after the fact, but the only reason you bought it in the first place was to play that one game?
Isnt that how it works nowadays anyways? Xbox360, PS3, Revolution, PSP, DS eveything is dependant on games, not just the hardware it has, FF, Sonic, Mario, RE, but everythings coming x-console now.
Making a slow come back since 2008
I guess you could say that LoZ: WW might have been a strong influence on my decision to buy a GC, but that wasnt the sole reason of purchase.
When i first bought my PS2, I wasnt even much of a gamer. In fact, I believe i bought it for NHL Hitz. :o_0: But then after a year or so, thats when I realzied there were better games than that.
I'm talking about buying a system for a single, specific game, not for an array of games or even for a single franchise.Originally Posted by kyuzo
I considered buying a PSP solely for GTA: Liberty City Stories, but then I worried about cash issues so I brought a diet coke instead. (there was a picture of a black woman drinking coke somewhere I had seen recently)
I didnt do it for just a game
But I did get a PS2 so I could get FF
But even if I didnt like FF, I would of still probably got a PS2
Hmm...nope. The closest was shelling out the dough for a GBA and Metroid Fusion that being the only game I had for the GBA for a while, but that was more because I was broke after the fact.
I won't buy for one game, although if there are just a handful of games I want I'd probably buy the system if I had the funds. I want to buy a PSP primarily for Generation of Chaos when it comes out, but there are other games I'd get for it as well.
Yea I got my Gamecube just for Metroid Prime. Now I've got almost the same amount of games for that has my PS2.
I bought the PS2 for playing FF although I manged to find plenty of other great games. I probably wouldnt have bought a GC but I wanted to play LoZ WW.
I bought PS1 the first time around just for Final Fantasy VII.
I got my GBA for the Pokémon games, but later I got tired of them, left them for two years or so and started to find out about other great GBA titles (and that's when I started playing RPGs seriously) and, nowadays, I use my GBA to play anything BUT Pokémon...
I got my Gameboy colour just for Pokemon also, then reverted to using it solely for Kirby.
I don't remember any system I bought just for one game... however, at the time, I bought the Nintendo DS just for WarioWare Touched!
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
I remember I did do this once...I rented Perfect Dark for GBC, but all I had was the big, old Game Boy. It didn't work, so I somehow convinced my mom to buy a GBC for me. Just for a game that I rented.
Really, kind of a waste of money, especially since I got a GBA a year or two later.
