I use to never have a backlog, that changed this generation, why?
Three things
1. Have far more disposable income than in the past
2. Games are far cheaper than they use to be
3. I am much busier with life and work
So, I think I am still getting use to the fact that "yeah, that game is only $5 and that means much less to you than in 2003, but will you ever get around to playing it?" Honestly, if a game is in the $5-$10 bargain bin really hard for me to pass it up even though may not touch it for a year. I mean, how much cheaper could it ever be?
