I bought 11 PS3 retail games this year before black friday.
And I got black friday deals on Resistance 3, RAGE and AC Revelations so make that 14 retail games for the year. Last year I think I bought about the same, possibly 1-2 more.
And I could see myself buying just as many games next year... its looking great too. But this generation might be wrapping up faster than Sony wants if Microsoft has their way and releases a new console at the end of 2012. Sony will be forced to release a new console by 2013 at the latest to keep up and avoid falling too far behind in install base and also to appease 3rd party developers so they can easily port new games across both systems. Devs will need to because games will likely become more expensive to make and on the consumer side we might see prices increase to $70 US. Hopefully the price increase doesn't happen.
