My low point was early 2005- holiday 2006, the waning days of the GC / PS2. The last GC game I purchased was RE4 in early 2005. From there I think I can count on one had the number of video games I bought in the following 2 year span, and this includes both the PS2 and the DS which I got as a Christmas gift that same year.
I stopped playing games regularly during this time. The initial launch of the 360 failed to capture my interest with no real compelling software, and I had no intentions of dropping 599 U-S DOLLARZ! on the PS3 the following year. Then during the 06 holidays I played the Wii at a relative's for the first time, and that sparked my interest in the gaming industry once again.
I didn't acquire a Wii until August 2007, but once I did I had games like Prime 3 and Galaxy to pull me right back into what I loved about gaming so much, and at the end of the year I also picked up a 360 with COD4 (c'mon, you all know you played this one when it came out!), and I haven't had another lapse in gaming since.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
