~15 Wii Games
~25 360 Games
~20 PS3 Games
~20 DS Games
~15 PSP Games
~105 Retro Games (~35 PS2, ~20 PS1, ~4 GCN ~5XB1, ~5DC, ~8GBA, ~3GBC, ~5Saturn, ~5 N64, ~10 SNES, ~5 NES)
~200 Total, but I wouldn't label all this as a backlog.
I own a lot of retro games because they are going up and up in value, and I eventually want to beat most of them. However I'm in no rush to do so, I like playing a classic JRPG from time to time, and I like to have options. If I had no Retro game backlog, I would basically stop playing video games, and get a new hobby. The reason why I have so many PS1/PS2 games is because I wan't too into gaming before, and PS1/PS2 were secondary consoles for me, so I missed out on a lot of gems.
My only real "backlog" is my 360/Wii collection, which is about 40 games. I won't go get an 8th gen WiiU or PS4 until I beat these games. The reason why I only count Wii/360 games, and not PS3/PSP or DS is because I plan to get a Wii U first, so I want to beat my Wii games before I do that, and my 360 is breaking, so I want to beat what I have before it goes, and not buy a refurbished console.
I'm buying a PS3 this fall, and I don't want to rush the games I have, just so I can buy a PS4. PS4 will take a while to build up a library, so I'm just going to enjoy my PS3/360 games until then. I'll buy a PS4 even if I don't finish all my PS3 games because like I said, I do enjoy classic games.
I don't consider my PSP collection a backlog because I've only owned a PSP for a year, and have no plans to buy a PSV any time soon. So it's a modern gen Sony handheld to me. As for DS, well 3DS is BC, and I want to get a 3DS XL, so I'm actually holding off playing my DS games until I get a 3DS XL to play them. So it's not really a backlog as an active game list. The reason why I don't have a 3DS XL yet is because I don't like the colour options for Canada (Blue or Red two-tone), and when I see Europe and Japan get Solid Black and Solid White, I feel a good colour option is just around the corner. Also the 3DS XL battery life is a bit weak IMO, so I want to hold off for a better model, my PSP is entertaining enough until then.
