The problem with "whats in your backlog" is accounting for free games.
PS+, Humble bundle, and XBL all widely throw those numbers off.

I left off some of my PS+ games I know i won't play, but over the years I've collected a lot of my backlog from PS+.

jesus, I'm just wondering how you can afford it all.

 

I spend less money than the average gamer and yet I get more games because I know how to be a smart and patient shopper.

I dont buy games day 1 regardless of whether its on console, portable or PC.

I wait for bundles and sale times like summer and holidays for PC games and I check IsThereAnyDeal.com. I also check IndieGamebundles.com to find out info on the latest bundles and free PC games.

I check CheapAssGamer for console and portable deals.

I spent about $500 for the entire year of 2016 - the price of 6-7 full priced AAA games due to these practices which is way less than what I use to spend $500+ - back then before 2012 I would spend as much or more for like 8-10 games. In 2016, I spent the same amount $500 for about 300 games.

 

The most I've spent on a single console game: Final Fantasy XV (PS4) for $40

The least I've spent on a single console game: Resident Evil HD Chronicles (PS3): $5.69

The most I've spent on a single portable game: Bravely Second (3DS): $20

The least I've spent on a single portable game: Pokemon Sun (3DS): $0 (thanks to gift card of $40 + the game got discounted to $32 pre-order on Amazon)

The most I've spent on a single PC game: Final Fantasy IX (PC): $16.89

The least I've spent on a single PC game: Castle of Illusion (PC): $2.24

The most I've spent on a bundled PC game package: Humble Bundle Star Wars Bundle 2 (Star Wars Rebellion, Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, Star Wars: X-Wing vs TIE Fighter - Balance of Power Campaigns, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, Star Wars: X-Wing Special Edition, Star Wars: TIE Fighter Special Edition, LEGO Star Wars - The Complete Saga) - $10

The least I've spent on a bundled PC game package: Humble SEGA Strategy Bundle (Company of Heroes Complete Edition, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Master Collection, Medieval II: Total War Collection, Rome: Total War - Collection, SEGA Genesis/Megadrive Strategy Pack (Shining Force, Shining Force 2, Gain Ground, Columns) - $1

unfortunately Nintendo makes it hard to do cheap shopping :( Thank god pre-owned games exist. Manage to steal 3DS games at around $14 average.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

I don't really know anymore

12 physical retail for ps4, couple digital and most ps+ freebies.
A couple physical retail for WiiU, ps3, 360, Wii and ps2 as well, whole bunch from ps+ for ps3.
Bunch of Steam sales games, bunch of adventure games from Gog, some bundle from Origin, humble bundles.
14 Kickstarter games and still a couple of PC retail boxes I never got to.

I've resisted the Steam sales this year, small improvement.

According to psn profiles I have played 285 games on ps3+ps4, 44% completion, 5,284 unearned trophies.
On XBox 360 it's only 45 games with 22% completion.

If you look and be patient you can find great deals throughout the year :p

 

But ya I agree with you, Nintendo barely drops prices for their physical games.

 

This is what I've gotten in 2016 for Nintendo wise (WiiU and 3DS) - all of these are new, I dont buy used/pre-owned games.

WiiU
-The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD - $30 at Best Buy
-The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess HD w/Amiibo - $25 at Walmart Black Friday
-Super Smash Bros WiiU DLC Collection #1 - Amazon $10
-Super Smash Bros WiiU DLC Collection #2 - Amazon $22
-Super Smash Bros WiiU DLC Collection #5 - Amazon $7.49
-Super Smash Bros WiiU DLC Collection #6 - Amazon $15.49

3DS
-Pokemon Sun - $0 (Amazon)
-Bravely Second - $20 at Best Buy Black Friday
-Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition (Gift)
-Nano Assault EX (Gift)
-Humble Friends With Nintendo Bundle - (Retro City Rampage: DX, Shantae And The Pirate's Curse, Affordable Space Adventures (WiiU), Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (WiiU)) - $1.00

The only time I buy pre-owned is if it looks like brand new. While it is unfortunate that i dont get to unwrap it(which is very enjoyable), I typically care most for the condition of the game.

298 games on Steam.
20 on Origin.
21 on GoG.
6 on Battle.net.
10 Digital games on 3DS.
6 physical games on 3DS.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

So many games, so little time to play them.
