It is rare that I pay full price for a game.  Steam sales happen all the time and the pricing is awesome.  Just grabbed Rift Apart and Spiderman for something like $20 each.  

Does your PC PSN account have trophies? 

Does anyone who said yes expect, or not mind, if there will be no other exclusives later that you want to play?

Because I have bought a system specifically for one exclusive (PS4 for Persona 5, although it was also available for PS3), but I also fully expected there would be more that I enjoy in the future.

No idea.  Steam has its own trophy system.  

You bought the console for the game, it's a yes for everyone in this case cause ao think everyone would want to get more than one game out of the system. A lotta people were buying X series S's to play College football in the cheapest possible way, I would hope that they would have other games that would interest them or perhaps college football was the tipping point for them to upgrade and there are more games already on the system that they'd play. It still counts as a yes, they bought it for college football.

The only reason I bought a PS1 was for Final Fantasy VII. I did end up getting a couple of other games for it (though I rented most of what I played at the time), but if it weren't for Final Fantasy jumping ship to PlayStation, I may not have ever even bothered with PlayStation until maybe the PS4.

I've had every Playstation since the PS1, but when the PS5 came out, there weren't any games that I was interested in so I stuck with my Switch and bought a Series S to go with it. However since Astro Bot came out, I've been thinking about getting a PS5. Problem is I cannot justify spending half a grand to play one game lol.

I was borderline going to buy a Dreamcast because I wanted to play Space Channel 5 cuz back then I liked games like Bust a Groove and Parapa the Rapper. Kinda glad I didn't.

Will do. It's just my days always seem to run into walls (times when I should be settling down to sleep for the next day), and Witcher 3... talking about that game requires a lot of words. It's the sort of joy and dread I get when I want to write about Xenogears.

If there were a console that had only one interesting game, and I didn't expect it to get any more interesting games, there's absolutely no chance that I would purchase that console for more than about $50.

But, this is pretty far away from reality, as every major system ends up with more than one game that would appeal to just about anybody. A more reasonable topic would be something like "How many exclusives does it take to make a console worth buying?" And to that question, I would say that I'm willing to pay about $300 for a system that I'll get six good exclusives out of. If the system were $500, and it only had six interesting exclusives, I'd probably only buy it if I expected it to also be good for third party games.
