Who is buying Wii's? If you plan on buying a Wii say what consoles you have owned, and how many games you buy a year.

How many games you have total (guess)
How many games you buy a year. (give a guess)

Well, I plan on buying a Wii as soon as they become available at Best Buy (not that I like Best Buy; I hate them actually...but I have $250 in gift cards to use there).

Consoles owned: well, it's a lot. Everything from Atari VCS, a lovely beige TI-99/4A, Colecovision, Vectrex to Playstation 2, GameCube and everything pretty much in between. A bunch of portables like DS, GG, TurboExpress and Lynx as well (always prefered non-Nintendo handhelds until GBA).

Games total? Hmm, I have over 700 NES games alone, so it's probably somewhere around 1,500+. Yes, I know that's insane. :D

How many per year? It really depends...when I was building my collections of older games it was a lot more than now, when I basically wait for a sale/clearance. Maybe 30? Probably more.

What? 700 NES games? If you live in the States, that's what... like $20,000?

I do live in the States, but I seriously doubt that they're worth that kind of money. I don't have the most valuable games, which are (in order) Nintendo World Championships 1990, Stadium Events, Bubble Bath Babes, Hot Slots and Peek-a-Boo Poker. All of those can go for hundreds if not thousands of dollars. I got most of my games years ago when they got really cheap (they sold for like $1/game on eBay for most game lots and oftentimes cheaper than that in places like Funcoland). NES is my favorite system by far, IMO the best system ever made in terms of good games. Checking my list, my exact numbers are 749 games (not counting doubles, but counting label variations), 296 manuals and 244 boxes. I also have some Famicom and PAL NES games, plus tons of other NES-related stuff like controllers, systems, etc.

I guess since I'm yapping on about my crap I'll yap on some more.  Here are the systems I currently own:

Atari VCS (aka 2600)

Atari 7800 (doesn't work)

Intellivision

Colecovision (w/Atari VCS converter)

Vectrex

TI-99/4A

NES (front- and top-loading)

SMS

TurboDuo

Genesis (w/Master System converter)

Sega CD (front-loading)

32X

SNES  (w/Super Game Boy)

CD-i (probably the worst system of all of these...yes, worse than 32X!) 

Neo-Geo AES (w/MVS converter)

Jaguar 

Saturn

PS1

N64

Dreamcast

PS2

GCN (w/Game Boy Player)

 

and handhelds... 

GameBoy Advance

GameBoy Advance SP (also a NES edition, of course!)

DS

Game Gear

TurboExpress

Lynx

Neo-Geo Pocket Color

Sega Nomad

Game Axe (portable Famicom)
