Any games that made you buy a console?

Mouse and keypad are the mainstay aren't they but I must admit that I use a Xbone joypad some of the time now on certain games . Not FPS of course that would be just wrong.

Controller is fine for single player FPS. I play as many games as possible with one. Aging wrists, too much strain put on them over the years...
 
Xbox for Forza 5, 6 and Horizon 2.

PS4 for Bloodborne at the time, I liked Souls but tried it and hated it. Yes I suck at it too and won't touch it again. Quite a few games on it now so was worth it.
 
Wip3out & tony hawks made me get a ps2, did have ps1 before that as I wasnt into pcs at the time, iirc the game that made me buy a ps1 was a footy game, cant remember what it was called now, but it was one of the early ps1 games & you could play in 3d.
 
Bought a Dreamcast just to play Resident Evil Code Veronica
Bought a Game Cube just to play Resident Evil remake and RE0

Have also had all the Playstations over the years for games like Gran Turismo, MGS, Uncharted and some more.
 
I bought an xbox 360 when GTA 4 came out because the PC would not get it for ages after that. years later, aside from a couple of other titles my 360 gathered dust until GTA 5 came out.

PS2 for Gran Turismo 3
PS3 for Gran Turismo 5

Then, after getting bored of the sterile nature of GT:

Xbox 360 for Forza 4

I expect it will be a Forza or a GT game that makes me buy a PS4 or Xbox One. But at the moment I'm not interested in either.

Pretty much the same for me. I had a PS up until I found I preferred Forza so I swapped over to Xbox however now I have a G27 and Assetto Corsa the console is used to watch blu-rays only.
 
Dreamcast : Virtua Striker (yes I know!)
PS1 : Ridgeracer. For a number of months the original ps1 line up was pants.
X-Box : Halo
Atari Jaguar : Doom ( I did not have a pc at the time, this was the only other way to play)

I have owned every console going, but these titles triggered a purchase.
 
PS4 as I got it cheap 2nd hand. Guy needed to pay bills and I took his 4k TV and PS4 off him for silly money.

Was going to get it eventually for TLOU and Uncharted Remastered games but not any time soon. Just worked out that I did get it sooner than I wanted to thanks to a good price.

Finished TLOU and 50% of The Order: 1886 and haven't really touched it since.

Also looking forward to Horizon: Zero Dawn.

I'll probably get Xbone towards the end of its life cycle for 50 bucks and play some of its exclusives and back catalog.
 
I bought a 360 for games like Test Drive Unlimited, Forza, Project Gothem, with my first wages whilst in college. it would have taken me months to save up enough for a gaming pc!
