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

Quite simple: They do not own the system the game is available on and do not want to buy said other system.

*Bonx* The question was... What if your favorite series goes to said other system you don't want to buy? Should they buy anyways? Not just want it, they're a huge fan of the series?

Not as simple as you though huh?

No still simple.

To many a new system/console is a big investment. It is not worth it if your only gonna play one game.

If its an issue of story lore, just wiki or watch a playthrough on Youtube. If its gameplay then theres always other games in the genre to enjoy. Point being, one game isn't worth it.

I agree with you. It's very valid to skip a game of the series, if you don't want to buy the system for only that game (or only two or three). But I thought this thread also about hating the game-company for jumping ship and about saying the game is not worth it, because it is on the wrong console. These both things are ridicilous.

To take an older example: If you owned a Gamecube, because of the better specs compared to the PS2, you were probably happy with hardcore-titles like RE4, that had clearly better graphics on your console than on the PS2. It would be valid, that you didn't buy - say FFX, because it wasn't enough to own the console only for that game. But giving SquareEnix hate for the platform-decision or saying FFX is not worth it, because it could have had much better graphics if released on the Gamecube is stupid. That's my opinion about that.
