Around the Network

2010, by a country mile.

Mario Galaxy 2, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Bioshock 2, Halo Reach, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Monster Hunter Tri, Vanquish...

To this day I have never bought as many games in a year as I did in 2010, or even come close.



Yeah it may be recency bias, but it is pretty damn hard to compete with 2017.



Alan Wake (one of my favorite games ever) and Super Mario Galaxy 2 came out in 2010, so I'll vote for that.



Wow, I just did a count of my collection and own 22 games from 2010.



Around the Network

The Ps4 games in the first half of 2017 are enough to make it the best.



2017
Zelda, Mario, Horizon and Persona 5 are all 10's for me. Resident Evil 7 in VR is a 10 as well, lower score if you don't play it in VR.



2017.

Just for Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Style Savvy: Styling Star. Incredible games.



2017 had...

Yakuza 0
Hollow Knight
Breath of the Wild
Persona 5
Super Mario Odyssey

No contest.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

2017 makes this an unfair battle.
My follow up would probably be 2011 mostly for Portal 2 and Skyrim.

Also you wrote Borderlands 2 in two different years (2012 is correct).
