You either count all games or don't bother. A game is a game and there's a lot of movie tie in games on the older generations which are little more than shovelware if that's an issue. I think it's digital games that Moby is counting and Wiki is not counting them in full. You can go to PSN right now, all games and I bet you'll be at 3,800 before you're half way down the list. Hell go to the store here and see. 9770 listed on this regional store https://store.playstation.com/en-ie/pages/browse 9991 games on another store. Far closer to Mobys numbers. 

I wasn't arguing about physical or digital. And stuff listed in a digital store is counting DLC sometimes as a game as it's software. So the numbers are off. PS2 has 10k games? No. I promise you as a physical collector it does not. That would have been mentioned on retro forums and such.

It's an impossible task then. Someone would have to go in to the stores and cross reference everything to get accurate numbers. Wiki isn't accurate past 8th gen and the stores aren't accurate. The number is somewhere in between. 50 games are added to Steam a day, near 10, 000 a year. It's a different beast the past ten years. The numbers are astronomical compared to anytime in history. Count mobile games and how they are getting ported and it's an even bigger task, no-one could track that.
