How this Gen almost Ended Console Gaming (For Me at least)

Dude you didn't read what I wrote.

YOU posted those times. No one else so it's not an average time.

However Fallout 3 got votes from several people. It's average completion time (not 100%) is 33 hours. Now add at the very very least another 15 hours for the DLCs plus time for completing the rest of the side missions and getting the remaining misc achievements and the average would easily be at 55 hours and that's only the low end.

If it's average completion is 33 hours, and you add 22 hours for DLC/various quests, how does 55hours become the low end? Wou'dn't it be a good average for 100%?

Also, MY BAD, I didn't realize I was the only one to post for FallOut 3 GOTY, but like I said, in most reviews they said the main story was 20 hours or less. 30 Hours or so seems good to get all the on disk side missions, 15 hours more for DLC makes 45 (I thought I beat it in 40, but I posted 45 there, and I'm too lazy to check my save file). That's still 10 under your 55 "low end" and I think it seems reasonable.

Maybe I beat FallOut quickly, people tell me I beat XenoBlade quickly too (62 hours with some side missions), and I've gotten this for a few other games. Maybe I'm just fast with RPG's (Oblivion being an exception? Or maybe I was just lost playing it).

Regardless, we still are getting long RPG's this gen, The OP claimed this gen sucked because we no longer get 70 hour JRPG's (What PS2 RPG's are 70 hours?), but in reality we still get long RPG's. Just the core games have shifted to multiplayer focused experiences (CoD) so in general, games are getting shorter, but playtime per game isn't necessarily.
