Definitely well over the $900+ option. I almost certainly broke that barrier just with the Vita. Lucky boy.

Well, it has been a bit more than the other years. I'm usually spending around €1000 - €1400 on games, so about €100 per month on average.

This year it have been €1900... PSVR + PCVR games are the main reason for that increase (more than €700 = VR games). But don't worry, I can afford that. ;)

Here is a more detailed comparison of 2016 and 2017:

 

  • thanks to the Switch, the Nintendo percentage increased
  • PS4 percentage increased mainly due to PSVR titles
  • Xbox One has plummeted due to the lack of new releases; 3DS + Wii U already were very low in 2016
  • PC is over 50% again, almost 100% digital now 
  • "GOG & Co." includes all digital PC stores besides Steam... therefore a big gain from the Oculus store

 

Hardware costs have been low last year: only a Switch + Pro controller, the Aim-controller for PSVR and an Oculus Rift + Touch controllers.

You keep detailed stats of it? I'm so jelly! I love stats like that. Wish I had them too, but it doesn't really seem worth it when I'm already missing the first 20 odd years of my gaming spending

Yeah, I'm glad I started a big Excel file about it many years ago.

With filters, sorting and pivot tables I can evaluate all sort of data I want within minutes. 

For example: number of games per platform and release year:

 

  • or per genre
  • or per buying year instead of release year
  • or per platform "family" (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft...)
  • or separated between physical + digital + subs (digital with an expiry date)
  • or ...

 

This is the same list as above, just filtered to retail games with one mouse click. Platforms without physical games (iOS, Android...) are automatically filtered away (and years without retail games would disappear as well)...m I love pivot tables!

I purchased a new computer with a Ryzen 1700 and a 1080Ti
Joined the Xbox family with the Xbox One X

Purchased over 30 games for PS4, PC and Xbox One

so yeah.... I don't know, I even purchased a new OLED tv for 2000 euro but if you don't count that I still spent well over 3000 euro.

A few games could be missing. I only keep track of the X1 games and even there I sometimes forget to include some physical purchases.
