Killer Apps: The games that sold me on hardware

I buy a lot of game hardware ngl for usually very frivolous reasons but there's always at least SOMETHING that's only to be found on a specific platform that makes me go "welp, time to make a poor financial decision". These are those games, with their respective hardware that they sold me on. Not even a list of games that are my favorites for each system as usually I would broaden my gaming on each system, these are just the gateway drugs.
