I bought a gamecube for supersmash bros, that was the game that had me buy it but there were plenty of others that followed. I would say Vita, but I bought it with a few titles in mind.
No, but I'm very very tempted to buy the 3DS for Paper Mario: Sticker Star. I love that series; each Paper Mario game has such great, quirky humor and fantastic gameplay, and I believe the newest one will still have all that. Plus it seems like they made it a bit more challenging, which is one of the only things I would change about the Paper Mario games; they are just a bit too easy.
For one game, no, never. For me, in order to justify the purchase, there would need to be at least a few games worth my time before I would consider picking one up. Heck, I still wouldn't have a 3ds if one wasn't gifted to me, and there is quite a bit that I have played on that (I would maybe pick one up sometime early next year if I didn't have one already).
I'm tempted to get a WiiU for ZombiiU at the moment, although I do know that there are games coming out later that I'll want as well (Super Smash Bros, Zelda, Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends etc) so I'm not sure if that counts.
Yes, I bought a PS1 strictly for Tekken 3 and a PS2 for GTA III. Then I bought an XBox 360 and there were like a jillion great 360 titles, so I kind of lucked into that one.
Yes. I bought the xbox360 for the sole purpose of playing Fable II.
You read that right. FABLE II. Aw yeah.
I have others now, of course. I haven't played anything on that console for a while now though... had to tear apart the basement (where all my shit is) and I haven't had a change to put everything back together yet.

Does the Pokémon series count as one game? Because Pokémon were pretty much THE reason for me to get a DS. But there was more than one title on the system, even discounting version X/Y splits.
Might've gotten a Wii just for Twilight Princess, not sure.
I certainly asked for an Xbox for christmas just for Timesplitters 2.
Probably got a 3DS just for Ocarina, and had to wait, only for a awesome Zelda 3Ds to be released as a bundle.
Might get a Vita just for Perosn 4 Golden, even if I play it a few times then get bored or stuck.
I have no respect for money

Yes, a couple of times (though I usually buy used or refurbished if I'm going strictly for one game, the only exception was the wii).
Wii - Super Mario Galaxy (I played through most of the game at the demo console at my local Gamestop, to be honest; I finally broke down and got the console hoping some other good stuff would come out).
Dreamcast - Jet Grind Radio (picked it up the system a couple of years ago; also got it because the dreamcast is just cool)
Xbox 360 - The Dead or Alive series (been a huge fan of it for years; it has more than just jiggle physics)
I also did some major upgrades to a computer once just so I could play portal.

I bought an Xbox just for Halo CE.
I also got a 360 just for Mass Effect, which a few people have already admitted to.
It's strange to think of it, but I didn't have games in mind when I got my PS1, PS2 and PS3, although the vast majority of games I've bought are for those three systems. Actually, scratch that. I bought my PS1 for the first Spyro. No regrets.

the title reminded me of something I had almost forgotten. I bought an Xbox and a copy of Halo back when it was new, since everyone seemed to agree it was the best thing since sliced bread. I had never been so underwhelmed by any console Ive owned, and Ive owned many. It looked like a hunk of junk. And that feeling applied to the game too. It had been along time since I played a halfway decent FPS (hardly any were ever released for the playstation2.) I immediately returned everything and iirc, got a full refund. I ended up working at that videogame shop for a year or two as it turns out.
I also bought a Gamecube specifically for Zelda. Luckily I ended up getting two of those, and two metroids which were ok, and an awesome resident evil, so that one actually worked out great.

I got the original Xbox to play Knights of the Old Republic, Metal Gear Solid 4 was the deciding factor in getting a PS3 if that counts, and I will absolutely buy a Wii U if the Yoshi's Land rumor turns out to be true just to play it.
Buying a console just for one game? No.
Buying a console because I want to play one particular game and then get all the other games that interested me? All of them.
I bought my PS2 for Jak and Daxter.
I bought my PS3 for Uncharted (What can I say, I'm a Naughty Dog fan).
I bought my PSP for Daxter (I smell a trend here...).
I bought my Vita for... wait for it... Persona 4 Golden (Surprise!)
And I bought my DS for NSMB.
One game made me buy those systems, but I always had other games in my crosshairs even before I bought them
