Quantity of games per year and per system (Wikipedia)

[XtremeBG]

I've made a chart of the Quantity of the games released over the years according to Wikipedia, from 5th generation onwards. As we can see from the launch of the 8th generation of consoles, the games every year become less and less, with harder development, needing more time to develop a single game, and more expenses around the game development. For 2024, the number of games is close to 200, however that will change once the year finish, and everything there is to release, actually release, but given the trend, the chances are there will be less than 400 games for the year.
