Would You Buy A Console For One Game?

I try not too, but there have been a few times where one game has put a console on "my must buy" list. Right now however I've yet to see any game that isn't coming out for the Xbox 360 and/or PS3, or isn't an HD "remastering" of a game that I already own on PS3 and/or Xbox 360, to make me want to buy a Xbox One and/or PS4. That will probably change in a year or two.
One particular game may be the trigger for me to buy a "console" (in quotation marks because this has only ever applied to Nintendo DS with a new Pokemon game as well as the Dementium games), but there are certainly more games than that which interest me.
Nah. It's has to be at least 3 games.
Like when I bought my PS3, I had 3 exclusive games I was really looking forward to for different reasons.
Heavy rain - I loved Indigo Prophecy and didn't know how much this one sucked before I played it.
God of War 3 - Spilling gratuitous amounts of blood makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Twisted Metal - I like the twisted metal series.
Currently though, the only exclusive for PS4 I am looking forward to is Bloodborne.

No, I've stopped pandering to the exclusivity of games mantra. I now look at what freedoms and options the system itself offers. How well is it built? Does it last? I won't be buying any of them until those questions get answered. There are more choices for games than there ever were before. I'm an advocate for all games going multi-platform so that we can start focusing on what the console devs are ACTUALLY giving us to warrant those consoles instead of hiding behind the devs to make their console have worth.
The whole Xbox One DRM debacle is a perfect example of this. They thought people didn't care what they did anymore, since people only buy for the exclusives, right? Fortunately people were at least well tuned enough to refute it, but Sony was able to get away with some crap during that shitstorm (timed exclusives, pay for more p2p online/just online in general, etc.). And Nintendo has always hid behind their exclusives so no change there. As it stands now, every console is built to require day-one patches and have had numerous videos showing issues that people have been having getting there hardware to run properly etc. There is no drive to provide a quality product if they can just buy off a studio and hold it's games hostage to their platform.
So nah, I refuse to support it.
