When I was younger, yes. I initially got my GameCube for Smash and my PS1 for Chrono Cross. Both libraries wound up growing to be pretty huge, but I can't deny that at that age it was a lot easier for me to justify an expensive purchase for a single game. I also bought a PS3 to get the Mortal Kombat reboot on, but it was also intended as a replacement for my Xbox 360, which was on its third replacement (covered under warranty) for RROD and I didn't feel like trying for a fourth.

Nowadays there's no way in hell I'd buy a console that didn't have a considerable library of exclusives I want. My going rate at this point is that the combined value of the games has to be at least equal to the cost of the console itself.
