I bought a Wii for Mario Galaxy alone. I was hoping it would rekindle my love for Nintendo franchises on the N64, It semi-did, it was a great game but not Mario 64.

And i'm very disappointed that there's no true successor to Starfox 64 or Donkey Kong 64. Those 3 franchises are all I ever cared about for the Wii, and I only got one of them.

I was debating getting a 360 for Dead Rising and Crackdown, but I decided against it and will get a new PC this fall.

I'll have Infamous to make up for not having Crackdown, and I guess i'll just have to bite the bullet with Dead Rising (i'm not getting that port on Wii).

I bought a Wii mainly for Wii Sports :oops: and SMG.

The GC Zelda WW was the game I played the most.

I bought the 360 on release purely for Oblivion (at the time I'd moved to the states and didn't have a gaming PC), of course then they delayed it.

and yea the Wii for Wii Sports. As I still only have 2 games in total for it (big brain academy I got for nothing practically in some sale) I suppose yea I bought it purely for that.

I bought a ps3 mainly for FF XIII and a 360 for Tales of Vesperia. There are many other games i want to play on both consoles, but these were the main reasons i bought the consoles. Not sure i would have bought them if it wasn't for these games.

I own 10 games for my PS3 but I only bought it for MGS4

There were more games which I was looking forward too on my Wii and 360 when buying them.

I sorta-kinda got the Wii mostly for Brawl and Twilight Princess. Back then, I didn't really know what the Wii was capable of. I like it! But, yeah... at first mostly for those two games.

When weighing out the differences for my next console purchase, BioShock made me choose a 360 over a PS3.

OH, IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN lol.

I looked over each systems games A LOT before I did this, and because I don't have a gaming PC; A PC option was not at my disposal. So, I kind of got a 360 for one game, though it came with others I enjoy now, I guess. It would have been the same if I had went the PS3 route, though.

Looking over, I really think I would have enjoyed the PS3's exclusives more.
Though, it'd probably look the same if I had chosen the PS3 first, with 360 exclusives.
Greener grass, blah, blah.

Oh, and I picked the Wii easily, because of Wii Sports.

Bought the 360 not for any game specifically, but rather because I wanted a true HD console, and 360 being the first provided me with that and as such I jumped aboard the train.

Bought the Nintendo Wii because I was pretty certain that Nintendo was going to screw the Gamecube generation by not releasing Zelda: TP on GC and wanted to have my bases covered.

Bought the PS3 because I wanted a Blu-Ray player and I was fairly sure the RPG glut of the PS2 would come over to the PS3, I was wrong.

Nope, not really. I got a 360 first because I wanted a next gen system... then I wanted a Wii because, well, the same reason everyone else does... then I wanted a PS3 for next-gen games as well so... no particular game drew me to any system.

I guess GTAIV kinda drew me into next-gen more than any other game... but heck I got my 360 more than a year before GTAIV came out so...

I bought a Wii for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption... and regret it. Sure, it works good as a Gamecube but I would rather have got one of those $25 Gamecube's instead of a $300 Wii. Sure, I enjoyed Excite Truck and Twilight Princess but they didn't really help at all.

I bought a 360 purely for Dead Rising... and I don't regret it in the least. On top of that I bought Forza Motorsport 2 (converted me from GT fan almost instantly), Mass Effect (my new favourite sci-fi universe), N+ (super-fun platformer), Ikaruga (just balls off the wall awesome), Braid (unique and well-made), Symphony of the Night (I have never owned a "console" version of the game and didn't want to find a PS copy), Doom (I thought I might as well compensate id Software some more for my software transgressions with them over the past decade) and I also borrowed Devil May Cry 4 from a friend (another awesome "next-gen" experience).

My 360 has more than paid for itself already in the little time since I got it (I think it was late July). I still don't feel my Wii has paid for itself yet... and it was a Christmas gift.

I will probably end up buying a PS3 for the new Team ICO game as soon as it hits shelves. I can't live without Team ICO, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are two of the many greatest games I've played in my life, among the top-tier.

No because I'm not silly. I bought my PS2 for 50 pounds and when I bought it I got it for 5 or 6 games that I knew I was definitely getting but then I got loads of other games as well. I would never get a console I knew I'd only use for 3 or 4 games, or if I did in the future I'd still check out other games, I know a lot of people do this with the Wii then moan about how it has no games, they only played SMG and SSBB because those are the reason they got the console.

I bought a PS3 because the PS brand has been good to me gamewise not to mention the fact that I love MGS and was not going to pass up the oppertunity to play MGS4. Also Team Ico rule and I definitely want to play the next game they make, I'm also a HUGE Tekken fan and looking forward to Tekken 6 plus my favourite action game, GOW3 will be coming out next year :D. Yeah so as you can see there is quite alot of reasons why I bought a PS3, shall I continue....

I bought a 360 for games such as Halo 3 yes, But was rewarded with what is IMO the best library on consoles.

I bought a Wii for Nintendo 1st party. Because Nintendo 1st Party>Microsoft and Sony 1st party

I bought a PS3 for MGS 4, Bluray player, and eventually the other good games PS3 will get.

I bought a PC because It has the largest selection of good games out there, and alot of them interest me. SPORE and STALKER for instance.

Since i always buy platforms early on, i don't look at the games available but at the probable future.
I have a PC standard, so it's always important that it will provide enough games that will not be the same as my PC gaming experience.

Contrary to popular SW belief, not much is different between PS3 and 360, so my main reason for buying a PS3 was MGS4 and other exclusives. If I buy a Wii it will mainly be for SMG, Mariokart, and some VC games.

I built a gaming rig for Crysis, then sold it and bought a laptop. Now I'm thinking of selling my laptop and building another gaming rig for Crysis Warhead. I can never make up my mind.:P

All in all pc gaming isn't really worth it for me seeing as how Crysis is the only PC exclusive that interest me, cross platform games take forever to come to pc, don't care much for mods, and I hate RPG's and RTS's.

I bought my 360 for Oblivion initially, although I was interested in PDZ and even the Quake 4 port for a bit. I eventually got Oblivion for PC when I got my new PC last year, making my 360 pretty much obsolete except for exclusives, fighters, and action games. Multiplats are a PC only thing for me, and now my 360 is getting a lot less playtime (although still much more than it got last year).

I bought a 360 for the exclusives Dead Rising, GEOW, Halo3, Mass Effect so far its been worth it looking forward to left 4 dead and GEOW2. I'm playing Bad Company right now only to give my PS3 a rest if I cared to play the multiplayer I would be playing it on my PS3 because I usually play all multiplats on it.

I want a Wii solely for your classic Nintendo franchises and the possibility that one day the Naruto fighter on that system will go online. I love Naruto and fighting games but the GC and Wii ones are the only ones based off of fighting rather than minigames and button guessing (lets stop calling them "quick time events").

I want a PS3 for LBP and MGS4

I purcahsed my 360 for possible Rare sequels, Mass Effect and the possibility of a KOTOR 3.

I almost bought a Wii for Resident Evil Umbrella Cronicles and SMG but didn't get one. And man am I glad after watchin the last E3. I might get a Wii 2 someday though.

Almost got a 360 for Gears 2 and Halo 3 but didn't want a system that could break down.
