Have you ever bought a console for a single game?

I bought a 3DS for Fire Emblem Awakening.
Only time I straight bought a device for a single game. Has no interest in anything else for 3DS at the time

Did you buy/hold onto a console for just one game/series?
I've got a PS2 with two microphones just for singstar because there's so many of them and there's no real alternative. I've got a 360 with four controllers just for Perfect Dark as I've finally accepted the N64 version with four humans and eight sims is not enjoyable. I've got a Super Nintendo...

Doesn't really count but I picked up an Orginal Crystal Xbox a while back in order to play those old James Bond games.

lmao ok fam
GameCube for Smash Bros. Melee, original Xbox for Ninja Gaiden: Black. Zero regrets!
Even if you're not quite sure if you want anything else on the console (that was my case with the Xbox, never cared much for Halo for example), eventually you'll start finding out about games you didn't even knew you wanted lol

Yes, I buy consoles knowing they last 5 to 7 years of experiences. Every console has games people would like but that are written off before giving them a try.
I wrote off Gears for years as a PlayStation fanboy when I was younger but I recently played for the first time and damn this series is excellent.
I also only buy Nintendo consoles for Pokémon

There's other games I got for it naturally, but:
Xbox -> Jet SetRadio Future
Was a huge JSR Dreamcast fan, and while Halo would eventually come to dominate my time with the system, in the summer of 2002 it wasn't even on my radar. JSRF was IT.

i guess technically i'm about to buy a PS5 just for Miles Morales, unless other launch exclusives are announced. every third party game i'll play on Series X
I know ;) It feels like we hear this question every year ;D
Original Xbox for Halo
Had no intention of getting an Xbox at all and was focused on picking up a Game Cube. After the systems launch I started reading more and more about how good Halo was. Ended up finding an Xbox on the shelf at Walmart before Xmas and snagged it with a copy of Halo. Was super happy I did.

I have purchased consoles primarily for a single game, but not just for that game.
I bought a 360 for Banjo Kazooie: Nut n' Bolts for example. There's a good chance I never would have bought one without that game.
But I had also been interested in trying out Halo and Gears, and a few other games, so I took the opportunity.

Yes, Halo. It was ahead of it's time in many ways on a game console. I also bought the SNES just for Super Mario World.
Rare Replay & enhanced oXbox/360 BC is the main reason I want an XBO as well.
Lunar: Eternal Blue is the reason I bought a Genesis & Sega CD. I ended up playing and enjoying other games on both, but Lunar:EB was the reason I bought them.

Kinda. I was perfectly happy with my NES as a kid until I was at a friend's house and saw Moonwalker on the Genesis. And I got a PS3 for MGS4.
Now, I say kinda because while I bought the consoles for just one game, I also knew there would be other stuff I'd eventually play.

I mean, this is pretty much what I did back when it was new. LOL I knew I was going to at least play the Forza titles too, but Rare Replay was something I had to have! I've since played a ton of games on it; mostly multiplatform titles on my 1X via Game Pass. It's great for that.
I bought a Japanese N64 just for Super Mario 64. It's all I cared about at the time. Was worth it, and then I sold it once I was done with it. I would subsequently buy another N64 for games like Star Fox 64, Mischief Makers, Bangaio, Diddy Kong Racing, Paper Mario, Sin & Punishment, etc. Games felt like a trickle on that thing, but I had a great time overall with it.
I bought a Switch for the express purpose of being able to have a portable version of Sonic Mania.
I upgraded to a PS4 Pro specifically for Final Fantasy XV, but in the long run KH3 ended up getting the most benefits out of the hardware for me.

I only had Pokemon games for Gameboy, Advance SP and bought also DS only for Pokemon (though i played also bomberman, mariokart, diddy kong racing later...)
