I wouldn't want it personally. Way too many japanese titles and RPGs in general. It seems your tastes didn't even remotely branch out until this generation.

I wouldn't be surprised if alot of peoples older titles are niched like his. Take a look at mine and you'll see a very heavy skew of RPG titles. But ive owned at least twice that many games in my lifetime. I almost always sell off games of the previous gen when the next one starts up except exceptional games and games of my preferred genre. This gets worse with casual games and games with heavy multi-player reliance. It's already hard to find many game matches for games of _this_ gen for lots of FPS games, whats the point of keeping a game with a weak SP game and no one around to play MP matches? I can't even imagine keeping sports games for more than a year. 

Well, I speak for myself when I say that I like to collect any game that I've own. I've only sold one of my games, and that was because it was the biggest dissapointment i've ever had in videogaming. Other than the games that i've lost in the course of time and house changes, I still have over 80% of my total collection.

I like to go back to my old folks house and dust off my old NES and play a bit of Crystalis or Tecmo Super Bowl, delight myself in a bit of MegaDrive or Snes, and so on.

I think there are a lot of gamers like that out there, especially those who have grown up with gaming since the early generations.
