Forums - Gaming Discussion - What games made you buy each system you own this gen?

PS3 (late 2007): For MGS4 and on the assumption FFXIII would be exclusive.

PSP: Crisis Core

If I bought a 360 it would be for Alan Wake and Lost Odyssey



Around the Network

Xbox 360 -

Mainly Gears of War, Halo 3, Oblivion, and the promise of Rare support, which hasn't really been much, but I didn't know that at the time.

Wii -

To be honest, I probably would have bought the console as long as Nintendo supported it. But if I had to pick the standout games, it would be Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Galaxy, SSBB

DS -

Same as Wii, Nintendo handhelds have never let me down. The games that initially intrieged me though would be Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing, Brain Age



I bought Wii on release day because of Zelda

I bought xbox360 on release day because of Enchanted Arm

I bought PS3 on release day because of Playstation brand and play FF12 on it

I bought PSP because of the hype

I bought DS for Brain Training



PS3 (Bought in 2006)
I bought the PS3 because is was the next PlayStation. I bought it at launch because the launch of the PS3 here in Australia was 1 Day before my birthday :D. The PERFECT Birthday Gift really :D!!!

But since I knew MGS4 existed in 2005 and I was soooo hyped for it, technically you could say that I bought a PS3 because of MGS4 and it has not let me down :D! And I bought the PS3 because of future Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Devil May Cry, etc games that I knew were gonna be released sometime.

PSP (Bought in 2009)
I bought the PSP because of Dissidia Final Fantasy. I really wanted the Crisis Core Bundle but during that time, I was really busy with school and all so really I didn't have the time to buy or play the PSP. And then I passed up on the God of War Chains of Olympus Bundle as well due to the same reason and then when news broke out that there would be a Dissidia PSP Bundle, I had to get it so that's how I got my PSP.

Nintendo DS (Bought in 2005) Nintendo DS Lite (Bought in 2007)
I bought the DS because of Mario and Pokemon games.

Nintendo Wii (Bought in 2008)
I bought the Wii because of Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl and Wii Sports. One disappointed me but the other two (especially Brawl), was just fantastic.



DS: Meteos, Another Code, Hotel Dusk
360: Beautiful Katamari, Dead Rising, Wartech Senko no Ronde, Soul Calibur IV*
Wii: See sig.

* I found out that Masumi Asano offers voice work for custom characters, and there's Maid DLC. Fighting with Izumi Sawatari fuck yeah

EDIT: Removed pre-generation fluff ⍨
