Why gamers don't buy a game because it is for another console?

Ive been there. Basically with PC games my current one cant run. I ultimately decided upgrading my PC isnt worth it. After a couple weeks I didnt care anymore. 

How much are you a fan of the game though. For example, there are some series I can't really do without, even more so back in the NES/SNES days. Those are Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Megaman, Zelda and Metroid. When FF, Megaman and Castlevania went to the PS, I cared alot. In retrospect, I should have bought the Playstation when it dropped in price, but I waited even longer and it was a mistake... I was being foolish.

A nice-to-have is another story though. Maybe your PC game is a nice-to-have? Is there a game you could never do without and if so what would it be?

Starcraft and Halo. Luckily my PC can run SC 2 and Halo has the luxury of sticking to a console I allready own and like. 

If it were to move? Not sure what I would do. Guess it depends on your desire and will power. Again its a great game versus the unecessary investment for just that one game. Depends on the person I guess.
