Forums - Gaming Discussion - Your system sellers

What particular games were the killer app that sold you on the systems you have bought?



Around the Network

The "system seller" effect only really comes into play with secondary systems. That said...
SNES: Chrono Trigger & Final Fantasy 6
N64: Goldeneye & Zelda OoT
Xbox: Halo & Elder Scrolls 3
Wii: New Super Mario Bros



Pokemon was always a system seller for me when it came to Ninty's handhelds. MGSIV and GTA IV sold me at the time on the PS3 and then Gears, Crackdown and CoD sold me on the 360.

Not quite sure what sold me on the PSP originally. PC sold me years ago with Age of Empires, C&C and Warcraft.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Hmmm ... interesting question. I don't think I've ever had a "system seller" except when I got an Xbox 360 merely based on how much my new friends at my new neighborhood were hyping up Halo Reach. Playing that for the first time was probably(and i'll admit this is pathetic) the single greatest thing in my life.



Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I don't buy consoles for one game D:

but The Wind Waker HD was one of the main reasons why I got the Wii U

I bought Gamecube for Zelda WIndwaker.



I could buy a console for Pikmin, Xenoblade and Age of Empires games. Well, in the case of the latter, I would optimize my PC.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

Gran Turismo sold me on the Original PlayStation. Since then, there have been too many games on PlayStation Consoles and Handhelds to name even a top 5.

The only other console I have bought off of a few games was the 360. I wanted Gears and Forza.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I used to buy Nintendo consoles due to past experiences I've enjoyed with them. But since the dismal WiiU and the even worse Wii (both of which I own) - I'll wait for games I actually want before I buy a Switch. I no longer buy paystations as they don't have the franchises or quality I care about.

I buy Xbox consoles for multiplayer with friends, a more secure and reliable online network, exclusives I'd buy, and a controller light years ahead of the competition. That's system seller worthy enough for me. Quality software just follows.
