getting a console for one game only

Yes, done it many times.
FFVII convinced me to get a PS1.
Goldeneye convinced me to an N64.
Shenmue convinced me to get a Dreamcast.
The Bouncer (lmao) convinced me to get a PS2.
Halo convinced me to get an Xbox.
Halo 3 never came out at the launch of the 360 but I was convinced anyway.
PS3... er, it had no games and I bought one anyway because I was retarded. Worth it now, but nobody in their right mind would buy one at launch.
 
A lot of people here spend thousands on gaming rigs just to play 1 game

At the end of the day if that's what tickles your fancy then so be it. As for me, I'm not a gamer so would answer no.
 
FFVII sold me my second PS1 having gotten rid of my original one way before I'd even heard of it. Actually, it's fairer to say a 3 minute coverdisc video that a friend showed me sold me the PS1 and FFVII.

FFXIII was the tipping point for me getting my PS3 (I'd been holding off for that and GT5 really), and while it wasn't worth it for XIII, it gets solidly used every day for gaming and/or as a media player.
 
I have kept (and would buy) a Wii just for Xenoblade Chronicles and have upgraded my PC numerous times just for one specific game.
 
all depends on how much you rate this one game, and how much the £250 or whatever means to you, can spend 250 in a few nights 'on the town' when you include taxis, drink, entry fees etc etc (prob in one night!)
anyway, if you do buy it for one game you'll nd up getting more games anyway
 
I've usually got a console for one game. N64 for Ocarina of Time, Gamecube for Metroid Prime for example. PC for Half Life 2 (if that counts?)
I've normally been happy with the choice, then picked up other games for the platform that interested me.
 
i bought a psp to be able to play gta against my friends in college on their psp's. The 1 friend who got a psp, never brought his psp into college so i never go to play it multiplayer lol, sold it on a few months later and bought an xbox 360.

Also crysis basically made me a spend £1400 on my current rig xD, im not even sure it like it now xD
 
Yes

I bought my xbox 360 4gb slim just to play FIFA 11. Still only game I have ever bought for it, and FIFA 12 will be the 2nd and only game im going to buy for it :)
