No, not just one game. I bought mine in late 2007, around the time Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, R & C and Uncharted came out.

Not for just one game, but the games that tipped me to the PS3, were FFv13 (was looking forward to this one before FF13), White Knight Chronicles, Uncharted.

No, I knew that the PS3 would have great games and since I figured the Wii would be more child friendly then anything and I don't like Xbox, Ps3 feel natural to me, that and I've basically had 3 other sony consoles before it. I did however wait until Grand Theft Auto 4 came out before I bought one which came with Uncharted.

I didn't get my PS3 for just one game as much as I got it for a series. Most of the exclusives I could've lived without this gen or got when they were much cheaper...except for MLB The Show. I'm a huge baseball fan and the 2K series does not cut it for me. The other games I play on my PS3 are just a bonus. I'm here for amazing, realistic baseball.

To be honest I bought a PS3 to play Disgaea 3 because I'm a rabid fan of the franchise. However, there are a whole bunch of other games I wanted afterwards ( i.e. MGS4, GTA4. LBP, etc) so I guess that would legitimize my reasoning in buying my console.

Well I havent bought it yet, but I plan to. But either way I would have bought it right away because I am indeed a Sony Fanboy. Almost everythin I own is all Sony electronics

The games I bought the system for all went multiplat for the most part, but I do like the new IP exclusives like Uncharted, Folklore, and resistance.

My deciding factor was blu-ray capability. I had gotten a 1080p tv, and wanted a BD player that could output at that resolution.

Did I get a PS3 for one game? No, I got it for a lot of games, and my pocket book is aching and for the first time in my life I think I'm creating a monster of a backlog.

It was the same thing with the PS2, by the time I got it, I was a little late to the party and there was quite a large library of games to be had. I justified my off the wall purchases by the fact that their prices had dropped since release.

Yes because I knew one day I would get Tekken 6. Although T6 is not exclusive, I cant see myself playing Tekken on anything other than a sony system. Im too used to the controller.

Nope I wanted it because it played games, streamed videos from pc (better than any other device including sling boxes imo), played blue-rays, had blue-tooth controllers, etc.. and it would compliment my pc nicely.

Free Online, I'm a fan of the Playstation because of past generation's games. GoW III, KZ2, MGS4 and more all made me decide to buy a PS3.

I did it for MGS4, GoW3, future EA Sports games, Resistance, GTA games, FF games( although now theyre not exclusive :P ), the next game by the Shadow of the COlossus creators, and..well..ya. I bought it for future games, the 360 didnt interest me, and still doesnt. I do have all 3 consoles though now.
