How many games do you buy a year?

Really depends on the releases. This year I've only bought 3, last year i bought about 12

In previous years more than 10. 20+ possibly. This year a little more than 10 with no more purchases planned.

i stopped gaming for a few years but with bioshock infinite and I got a new gaming laptop, i'm back into it. this year im up to 5 games. last year was zero.

Really depends, sometimes 1 per month or 2 per month sometimes none. Id say around 10.

On average I buy about 2 games a month sometimes 3 so I'd say about 24 - 30 a year.

This year so far I've bought new:

Ni No Kuni

Fire Emblem: Awakening

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Project X Zone

Shin Megami Tensei IV

Pokemon Y

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility

Harvest Moon: Animal Parade

Tales of Xillia

Grand Theft Auto V

Rayman Legends

The Wonderful 101

Pandora's Tower

Puppeteer

Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

Dark Souls

Mass Effect

Mass Effect 2

Resident Evil 4 Wii

Far Cry Predator Instinct

Games I've bought this year used:

Mass Effect 3

Gravity Rush

Rune Factory

Rune Factory 2

Lost Odyssey

More than 10. I typically pick up at least one new game per month.

And that's not even counting Steam Sales, smaller phone games so I can play them with my girlfriend or the rare trip to Steam Early Access.

Depends on the releases and sales. but most years its probably around 30+ i think of various indie, AAA and other smaller titles.

15 or more, maybe. i'll get a few boxed releases and download a bunch.

I'd say one or two new titles each year plus a lot of Steam games when they are on sale. More than 10.

So far, Red Dead Redemption, Defiance, Bioshock, Far Cry 3, Madden 25 and Borderlands 2

Depends. For current gen games, it's probably between 4-10 annually. The retro game count can be all over the place.

Around 5 or 6 games a year.

I usually get around 10 games or less. It all depends on the deals happening, new releases, platform, and etc. But 2012 was a big year for me, I got quite a number of games. This year has been slower, and next year might be even worse if I can't decide on next gen.

With only Tales of Xillia 2, Guilty Gear Xrd, and Dark Souls 2 on my calendar for next year in terms of console. PC has a few MMOs but no updates on them as of late.

More than 10 for sure. Usually 1 or 2 new games a month, sometimes more when including used or good sales. I'd say it's probably closer to 20 a year. And that's retail games. If counting XBLA or Steam then numbers rise dramatically. Checking my raptr I have played over 300 games on my 360 so yes, my life is nothing special.

Maybe thirty. Most of the time, I buy games when there are deals for them. There are some games I would like to show my full monetary support for and so I buy them day-one or soon after.

Around 20 or more.

About 3 close to release day and 3 on a steam deal.

About 10.

I think I average in about 10 games a year. Often times, such as this year, many good and interesting games come out and I tend to buy them all. For example, I will be getting NBA2K14, CoD: Ghosts, BF4, and Pokemon X before the year is out. On top of the other 7+ games I've already bought. Luckily for me, my library has it's own game library and 8 out of 10 of the time it gets the hot games.

Hmm, those who buy 10 and under what kind of games do you play/buy?

Because even if you only play 2-4 hours a week with most games having a span of 6-8h its not a lot of games.

I tend to play Adventure/RPG games. There aren't many for the Xbox, so I buy fighting games and FPS.

it depends on whats releasing.. probally 10 or more.. im sure 2014 will be an expensive year for me

I would easily buy over 10 a year(thanks to the gaming sales on the internet), but lately I have only bought 3 games so far this year thanks to the fact that I'm now going to college, and don't have much money. Hey it's given me a reason to catch up on my backlog.

This year? Too many. Lost count. Next year, I'll probably buy like 10 tops. Tired of keeping up with every new game. There's too many. I'd rather just take my time with one new game at a time, and also revisit old ones.

The past couple of years it's been between 5-10.

i usually buy at least two each month, but they aren't brand spanking new often

Nowhere near as much as I would like to buy

Too many. Just bought eight in the last month. The sad thing is I have little time for my favorite hobby anymore... :(

242 thus far, but by far the majority have been from things such as Humble Bundle and other indie bundles. I have an addiction for buying games for cheap.

I generally buy 4 or 5 each month so easily over 10 a year :)

Last year I think it was around 40. This year probably around 50-ish?

Around 7-12 games mostly depending up on the games

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. Its well over 10 though. Haha.

More than 10 definetly.

at least 30 a year.

I'd say around 10-15, but at the start of a new gen I barely buy any. Steam has increased my purchases immensely though.

that is the only correct answer :P

At least as *buying* video games is concerned I consider myself hardcore, though I'd surely buy even more if I could afford it...

Good games are becoming rare now, most developers have taken to Regurgitations. ONly rockstar has actually accomplished a good one.

Good games are actually quite commonplace in my view. What is rare are exceptional and superb games.

I buy too many games, this year set a record thanks to PS Plus. But that stopped the very second I found out that none of our games can be carried forward to the next generation. I mean, i figured if freaking Nintendo could do it, everyone would do it. But alas, not true. Not even the limited backwards compatibility setup like the Vita has. Just nada, zero, nothing.

It´s actually quite clever of both Sony and MS not to included backwards compatibility , because what they probably will do instead is sell those older titles again on the new consoles :)

Over the last 5 years I have averaged nearly 200 games a year. But I collect, and most of the games I own are old games. I only buy between 5 and 10 new releases each year.
