They literally dont even get any other games.. Just Gran Turismo. There were even schools who buy PlayStations SPECIFICALLY for Gran Turismo. I know people who also buy Playstations for Final Fantasy.
I had a friend/associate who had and played nothing but Xbox 360 with his older brother and Dad. He had Halo 3, Lost Planet, COD and some other game. So me and a couple friends went to his house and we seen that he had bought a PS3 and he had the new God Of War 3( it was like 2 weeks after GOW3 came out). He had bought a PS3 SPECIFICALLY for God of war 3. He never really bought any other games from what i remember. He had told me a few weeks later that he was looking at this game called inFamous and that he was probably going to get it but i never went back to his house to see if he had ever got it.
I know LOADS of people who buy consoles just for Grand Theft Auto. They usually end up only getting like 2 more games down the line(like Madden and maybe a COD)
I know TOO many people who buy systems for 1 game but eventually pick up more later on.
I'm more of the type to wait for multiple games to be in the library before diving in, like you pretty much said. The only game i might force me to get a sytsem early is maybe Final Fantasy( if it looked good like FF7, 8, 9 or even 10).
But i'll probably NEVER IN LIFE run into an individual who bought a system for a free to play game.
Also, i'm not saying that PlanetSide 2 is bad or anything. It's just rendered irrelevant due to being free to play.

dude.. just to comment, but I see you nitpicking f2p as the reason people wouldn't buy a system. that's fine and all, most wouldn't buy a new console for a free to play game.. buy the system for whatever game you want, whether it's for one game or multiple games.. but the great thing about f2p games is just what it is.. free to play games. you can add a f2p game and it wouldn't hurt your intentions of buying the system in the first place because of another game. it's another title free for you and whether its your thing or not, is up to your tastes. seriously.. we know there will be those retail/downloadable titles that will always be the reason why people buy a system.. but to think a f2p game will hurt the outlook of a console especially when it's free? it's almost like the complaint is.. "omg.. a f2p game.. is that all the ps4 has?".. no it isn't.. it just complements whatever else will be coming to the system. buying the ps4 for infamous, uncharted4, the last of us, destiny, etc? awesome! well.. you can also download ps2, hzn1, war thunder, warframe, etc.. and guess what? it didn't cost you a dime.. and know what else? you might actually enjoy them. it's not like the ps4 is centerd on f2p only now.. it just also gives you those optional titles that you can enjoy along with the games you do buy. so what is the complaint actually?
it's almost like the mobile market with ios and android. its as if downloading a free game as opposed to buying a game is a bad thing.. yet especially in the mobile market, a majority of of the "free" games are the most downloaded and also end up generating the most revenue..
Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..
