Where do you find the time to play all those games? To completion?

35 games to play in 4 years isn't really much to complete.

True.

Yeah on my ps4 I got through a crazy amount of games. We get spoilt for choice. 

I remember when I was a child and to own games were like one very old game per year, the rest just rented.

Some people have other hobbies outside of gaming.

That averages around 6-7 games per console.

*Looks at my PS4 game collection*....i'm helping at least 5 consoles that doesn't have any games xD

I think my husband and I have around 50 games physical and digital combined.  I'm always amazed how many people own 3-5 games for a system they have for years.

PS2 was basicaly a monopoly. Now there are more people playing games on other platforms like PC today than in early 2000s when everybody only thought about a PS2 when it comes to gaming. The gaming market as a whole actually grew since then.

I for example was mostly console gamer during PS2 era, only owned a PS2 and a basic PC for Diablo and some MMOs, now my main platform of gaming is PC, with a PS4 just for the 1st party titles.

35 games so far....its not over yet :D

I know I have at least +10 more games I want but I decided to hold back just cause of my backlogs.  i figured why buy them Day 1 at full price when by the time I actually get the time to play them they'll be cheaper.

 Same here! I find it a bit sad cause you spend good money investing into these consoles to only play a handful of games.  They definitely didn't get their money's worth.  I know a few people that buys systems just for a single game like CoD and thats all they'll play.  Like its nice to see some dedication but they're missing out on a lot.
