First off, are we talking official consoles, or do we include those old tigr and game& watch handhelds that only played one game each? What about knockoffs from china and cellphone emulators?

Also, are you talking about every single copy of every single game and console, or just one of each?

And also, what denomination are you asking? USD, Euro, Yen? Should we calculate exchange rates? what about collector's values or should we only go by original price, what about when consoles drop the price after a couple years? Do we use the old price or the most recent price?

I know your questions are meant to be one of those; "How many atoms are in a cell?" type deal, but it's still very open ended as you've left things.

Only official video game consoles, games, and accessories. And I am not talking about one of each. I am talking about every single one that exists! U.S.D. will do, and collector's value will also do. Just assume the questions, and give any random answers.

Those are not remarkably interesting questions; this is coming from a guy who has been amusing himself by reading ctrl-alt-del and penny-arcade for the past hour

Umm well do you want the cost of what -I- shelled out? I have about 120 games in my room that range from 20 to 70$ so we'll go with 45$ as an average price so about 5,400$ on my shelf + GCN, DS DSlite, GBA GBA SP GBA micro PS3 Wii 360 elite PS2 PSone PS PS turbo shock PS2 silver... Sega CD Saturn etc and literally hundreds of games.....

I'd label my system collection at a cool 10,000 USD... if not more but I'm probably off... keep in mind I bought all the ones made after my birth at full initial prices ; ; except duplicates were purchased at reduced prices.. and I own at least 5 games per system(200 nes and almost as many snes..) Sega genesis x2 Virtual boy Snes x 2, super famicom nes x 2, famicom n64 x 2 game boy, gameboy pocket x 2, gameboy color gba, gba sp, gba micro sega cd x 2(top and side model) sega saturn sega master system dreamcast game gear, nomad ds x2(lite and original) PS3 Ps2 x 2 PS1 x 3 cd-i 3d0 360 atari 2600, 5200, 7800, lynx and jaguar Magnavox odyssey Coleco vision bleh so much wasted time >.

I bet the big fat xbox is at the bottom of the tower holding it all up.

Yeah, this thread failed. Meh, it was worth a try...

BIG

This thread FAILED HARD! It's the biggest failure in all of VGChartz. Man, oh, man, this thread failed so hard. It failed so hard, it slapped my Mario avatar in the face, and even took off 100 posts on my post count. Yes, my post count had 100 more, before I made this thread, of dishonor. I bring shame to this website, because of this horrible, horrible thread. Such a failure... A miserable, miserable failure. I am no longer worthy of having a Mario avatar. Now I have to change it to Sonic the Hedgehog, so that my avatar equals my disgracefulness.
