I'll go through my history. The games that convinced me to get those systems:
SNES: Final Fantasy IV and VI and Super Metroid
Sega Genesis: Sonic the Hedgehog (they were good back then)
Playstation: Final Fantasy VII
Sega Dreamcast: Shenmue (got the console before Shenmue was out, but the trailer that kept playing at the store I bought my console from kept me dreaming everytime I went there. :)
Playstation 2: Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty and Final Fantasy X
Gamecube: Metroid Prime
XBox: Shenmue 2 (The game didn't come out on Dreamcast in NA)
XBox 360: Lost Odyssey
Playstation 3: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy
Wii U: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Now, although I don't yet have a Playstation 4, here are the games that make it my next console purchase:
- Uncharted 4 A thief's End
- Final Fantasy VII Remake
- Final Fantasy XV
- Shenmue 3
- Horizon Zero Dawn
