This idea just popped into my head so I thought I'd give it a spin, either it'll catch on or fall flat on it's ass.

Ok, so the idea is to find how mainstream a gamer you are in relation to your respectively owned console/s!

List all of  the games you own for  your current system, eg. I own Zelda:TP, Mario Galaxy, Mario Strikers, Excite Truck & MPC (Not exactly an extensive collection but I'm a skint student).

Now take the WW sales numbers for each of the games, eg. 4.31m, 4.3, 1.09, 0.59 & 1.04 and add them together = 11.33

Now divide this total by the number of games you own, 11.33/5 = 2.27

Finally to allow rough comparisons between owners of all console divide this number by how many million units your system of choice has sold & multiply by 10, in my case Wii, 2.27/19.45x10 =  1.17

This is stupid. There is no firm correlation between console sales and game sales. Owners of the PS2 would for example never be mainstream.
