You know how sometimes you look at a game and just HAVE to play it? Was there any such case when your fascination with a title was so great that it made you buy a whole new console just to enjoy it?

Jet Grind Radio was the game I got a Dreamcast for, and I owe my ownership of a PS3 to The Last Of Us.

What about you?
 
My Ps5 is only here with me because I loved Gravity Rush on the PSVita and I was DYING to play Gravity Rush 2
 
I don't think it's a reasonable thing, as it basically helps reinforce eternal exclusivity shenanigans. That said, given the choice I'd get a PS4 to play Bloodborne.
 
Oh boy... PS3 for Uncharted, XBOX ONE S for Halo and PS5 for Stellar Blade and hopefully GTA6 "soon"
 
Bought a Xbox360 mostly for Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon in late 2000s

Forgot to say i bought a used PSP just to play GTA Vice City and Liberty City Stories lol.
 
I've done this twice in my life, with great results both times. First time being the Gamecube so I could play RE4, which I ended up not even liking, but then I could also play metroid and paper mario and those games were amazing. Then later I got an Xbox 360 specifically to play Dynasty Warriors Gundam, which was even better than I had hoped it was, and also the 360 ended up being imo the greatest game console ever.
 
FF13: I had my eyes on it since release, but never got the chance to play it. When I saw an xbox 360 at €30 I had no second thoughts :) And I enjoyed the game a lot! Now I have Eternal Sonata and Hitman Absolution in wishlist.
 
I was a ps4 gamer for well over 5 years. However, I was a 7th gen gamer at heart, and it was really tough to emulate 7th gen stuff in the 2010s. Xbox’s backwards compatibility was a gigantic selling point for me and I’m still happy for it.
 
I am that dumb guy who bought a PlayStation 3 SPECIFICALLY for FF VersusXIII and The Last Guardian. The whole generation passed by and they were never released for that console............... . .

Don't buy consoles because of trailers hype!!!!!!!

?if it’s any consolation, I was also kinda banking on Scalebound coming out.

That’s really wholesome. Nice to see a big fan of GR
 
One of the reasons I bought a Wii U back then was to play Breath of the Wild when they announced it in 2014. And another reason was smash 4
 
PS1 to play Crash Bandicoot, a console to this day i NEVER regreted buying, with the treasure trove of memories the PS1 game me
 
I waited in line on black Friday for a ps4 just so I can play Persona 5 and Trails of Cold Steel. Worth it
 
Death Stranding 2.

And of course I needed a new ps4.

I was without a console around the time when KH3 came out. I went and bought an Xbox One because a used one was what I could afford at the time - hardly played it until I migrated back to PlayStation.
 
Had to get a playstation to get better at Twisted Metal and Battle Arena Toshinden, got tired of losing every time I went to my friends place.
