Wii U - Super Smash Bros.
3DS - Pokemon

Nintendo 3DS: no game specifically since I wanted to play many games that were going to be, or was already, out..
(Fire Emblem Awakening, OoT 3D, Mario Kart 7, Pokemon, Rune Factory 4, etc..)

Wii U: again, not one specifically but I wanted to play Smash 4, MK8, TWW HD, and 3d World

3DS: Pokemon X
Wii U: Mario Kart 8 & Super Smash Bros

I would pretty much buy any console that has Halo and Gears. So naturally I needed to have a X1.

Shenmue 3 alone could also justify a console purchase. But that's years away...

PS4 - Well I've purchased every single PlayStation to date. Got it at launch. It was a no brainer. I know the games are coming.

Xbox One - Again.....I've purchased every single Xbox to date. I didn't get one at launch because I didn't have the money to get both the PS4 and XB1. I had to make a choice at the time. However, I love my Xbox One now. I know the games are/were coming.

Wii U - Always got Nintendo consoles. I know the games are coming. So there's no particular games that made me by it. I got this at launch.

PS Vita - Love Sony handhelds and I liked what was coming gamewise.

3DS- Nintendo handhelds.....nuff said!

Bought my 3DS when Pokémon X/Y was first announced. Best decision ever!

PS4- track record, Japanese Xbox One; familiarity, tv, achievements, etc. Wii U- kind of the biggest disappointment for me; really wanted a true Paper Mario, a real 3D Mario game, even some shitty Pokemon game would have been nice. Definitely my least played console. 3DS however, I bought knowing Pokemon would be on it, therefore, I did buy it with a certain game in mind. There's a problem with that. There's no such thing as a 'shitty' Pokemon game...

Pokepark was kinda shitty... 

I liked it for what it was, but let's be real. 

WIIu- Exclusives(already have)
vita- jrpgs
ps4. horizon
xbox one- exclusives (getting this year)
3ds- pokemon(already have)

Wii U: I already wanted to play Mario Kart 8 and Pikmin 3, among others, but the announcement of a new Star Fox and the Zelda trailer at E3 2014 were the deciding factor for me to get one. It's been a decent console so far, with some good surprises like The Wonderful 101 and Splatoon, but it could have been much better.

3DS: Pokemon, Fire Emblem: Awakening, the Zelda games, Bravely Default, and a lot more. I bought mine two months ago and it's already my main gaming platform, a great purchase.

Vita: Ys: Memories of Celceta, Tales of Hearts R and Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines, before knowing that Oreshika was going to be a digital only game. Having charged its battery only 4 times in the last nine months, it's the only purchase I might regret.

PS4: It will probably be my next purchase, but it needs good JRPGs for me to jump the gun. Both Dragon Quest XI and Persona 5 are looking good, but none of the games available now has caught my interest.

Xbox One: Maybe Scalebound or Ori and the Blind Forest, but it'll also take a new Lost Odyssey and a new Blue Dragon for me to start thinking about buying one.

Wii U: I wanted it mainly because Wind Waker HD and Super Mario 3D World were already out, but I was really anticipating Zelda U, Bayonetta 2 and Mario Kart 8 as well.

3DS: Basically A Link Between Worlds. I would have to say the other one was Fire Emblem Awakening, in addition to the quality 3rd party exclusives.

*PS4: Bloodborne and Until Dawn as for what's out now. Persona 5 and Fallout 4 are the other ones on my radar. Maybe the Gravity Rush games as well (haven't seen them in action, but I like the sound of it).

*Vita: Probably Persona 4 Golden and the Danganronpa games. I would say Digimon and maybe Sword Art Online, but those are coming to the PS4...so yeah.

*XBO: Scalebound and Sunset Overdrive are the games most likely to make me pick one up eventually.

*Don't have yet
