What was the game this generation that convinced you it's time to join?

Which game convinced me to buy which console?

Their was no game that lead to me buying a next generation platform. I wanted a Wii because I was a major Nintendo fanboy. To me Nintendo could do no wrong and the idea of the Revolution in gaming had me far more interested than any game could. I loved my GameCube and obviously wanted the next console in Nintendo's line up.

While I never bought the Wii for a specific game I did buy my 360 and PS3 due to specific games!

Halo3 got me to buy a 360. Sure I had played Halo at friends houses and Halo2. But never did I buy an X-Box for them. However when I saw Halo3 I was in awe, I bought my 360 about a month before Halo3 launched. I've got to say Halo is definatly a platform seller I'm pretty sure their were plenty of other people who bought 360 just for Halo3.

FullAuto2:BattleLines/LittleBigPlanet got me to buy a PS3 this boxing day. I am a major anti Sony person of course I never actually bought the PSOne or PS2 (Both were at my foster home). However Little Big Planet and Full Auto 2: Battlines forced me to pick the platform up. I loved FullAuto on the 360 and just had to get my fix!

 

Was their ever a title that caught me in awe of the next generation?

Yes Halo3 for me kicked off the start of the next generation. Sure 360 had plenty of pretty games but nothing that screamed next generation. All in all I considered the 360 not much better then the X-Box up untill I saw the first Halo3 trailer!
