Would you buy a system just because of a particular game?

Only if there are other games coming out that I want. Systems cost too much to buy just for one game. Soul Calibur was the main reason I got a DC, but there were other games I wanted that were out (Sonic, NFL2K) and tons of games in the future that I wanted. I haven't got a PS2 yet, and probably won't, because there doesn't look to be many exclusive "must-have" games for it.

I bought my SEGA to play the D&D game that came out for it. After I won, I sold the console and game to a friend. Just bought a PS2 because of Starfighter, and the upcoming Baulders gate, though some of the old PS games are pretty cool as well. (PE, FF, etc)

I'll buy an X-box to play Halo. (www.bungie.com/halo) I think it might have now been announce for PC as well, but I'd rather play it knowing I won't have to worry about upgrading RAM/Video card, and still be able to have a blast.

I will forever buy Nintendo's systems just to have Zelda in my hands. I will also follow wherever the Final Fantasy series go. Those two are my particular interests.

Hell yes!! The main draw for me with the Dreamcast was the fact that RE Code Name Veronica was scheduled for a release on the system!!!
Shenmue was an added surprise for me!!!

I'd say it would be WELL worth buying a Dreamcast just to play Virtua Tennis! If you haven't tried this game you are missing out on one of the best videogames ever, period.
Add to that Crazy Taxi and a bunch of other great games and the Dreamcast is a must buy IMO.

Thats the reason I have bought nearly every console.
NES was bought for Super Mario Bros.
Genesis was bought for Phantasy Star 2
Sega CD was bought for Snatcher
SNES was bought for Super Metroid
3DO was bought for Star Control II
CD-i player. Okay I still don't know why I bought this. However, it ended up having good educational software for my son.
Saturn was bought for Panzer Dragoon Saga. (yes, I bought my first Saturn after I new it was dead)
Playstation was bought for FF VII
Dreamcast was bought for NBA2K
PS2 was bought knowing I would play FF X and GT3 on it someday.
