Forums - Gaming Discussion - How much money do you spend on gaming each year? How much this year?

I don't keep track of how much I spend each year on gaming but so far I've spent $1163(excluding taxes).

Since Jan.2014

PS4-for my older brother

PS4-for a very close friend of mines

Infamous: SS

The Amazing Spider-Man

Watch Dogs

The Lego Movie

PS+

Infamous First Light.

Destiny



End of 2016 prediction

PS4:43M-46M

XBONE:28M-33M

Around the Network

About $450 so far. I think I'll be getting Destiny, COD, Far Cry 4, Drive Club, AC Unity, The Evil Within, Bayonetta 2, Smash Bros though not all day 1 so I might spend less than full retail on them.  And I'll need to renew PS+.

Hahaha, 4 pokemon games in a year. I think my "highscore" is 3, it may be even 4 idk..but when was younger the only thing I played was pokemon.



I spend €1000 - €1500 per year for games (that's $1300 - $2000)... this year so far €1100 ($1400):

  • €303 on my main Platform PC (most of it on Steam, Humble Bundles included)
  • €226 on Wii U games (DKC: TF, MK8, NSMBU+NSLU, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, SM3DW, WindWaker HD, ZombiU)
  • €172 on Vita games (Atelier Rorona + Totori, Danganronpa, FEZ, FF X + X2, GoW 1+2, R&C 1-3, Sly 1+3,...)
  • €163 on PS4 games (DriveClub, inFamous: SS + FL, Killzone: SF, Oddworld: New'n'Tasty, TLOU:R)
  • €91 on 3DS games (Prof. Layton 6, Prof. Layton vs. Ace Attorney, Zelda: A Link between Worlds)
  • €68 on iPad games (Blackwell 1, Broken Sword 5, Botanicula, FF4, S.F. Tunguska, realMyst, The Room 2...)
  • €49 on PS3 games (God of War 1+2, Persona 4 Arena, Ratchet & Clank 1-3, SoulCalibur 5, Sly 1+3)
  • €21 on Android games (Humble Bundles included)
  • €0 on Xbox360 or Wii games this year (so far)

My PS+ costs are already included... up to 2013 I counted €1 for every PS+ game I got. For 2014 I changed that to 50 cents per PS+ game, since I now get 70 - 80 games per year for the subscription (around €35 per year).

Hardware spendings this year:

  • €266 for a Wii U Premium + accessories: €200 main console (€226€, but I counted €26 for the included Nintendo Land) + €5 adapter + €23 high capacity battery + €38 Wii U Pro controller... with 100% compatibility, i was able to sell my old Wii for €33; remaining costs are €233  
  • €370 for a PS4: €504 for the Killzone-Bundle, but I sold the included camera, second gamepad and Killzone: Shadow Fall (after playing it for some weeks)... with the €115 profit of my sold-through Launch-PS4 (my most wanted games got delayed, so I could wait for the Killzone-bundle), remaining costs are €255
  • €189 for a Kindle Fire HDX 64GB tablet
  • €49 for a Kindle FireTV (mainly for video streaming, but I will try some Android games with controller support on it, too)
  • €25 for a SteelSeries gaming mouse (my 8 year old Microsoft Habu got connection problems)
  • €290 for a GTX 970 graphic card... I sold my 3 year old GTX 580 for €94; remaining costs are €196 

A 64-GB-memory card for the Vita is next on my list, "new 3DS XL" next year.



On hardware alone :

Ps4 = $490
2 3ds xls = $630
Asus rog laptop = $1,800
Z ultra (for games like baldurs gate, magic 2015) = $400

I dont want to count games, else i might get discouraged on how im spending my money 😣
