I've had my PS3 for one full year (Give or take a week) and I've bought 9 games over that time.

anywhere from 5-10 would be about right I guess... So far I've bought 3 this year, and have several more on my wish list I plan to buy before the year is over

Depends on sales that happen and really my mood to play games. Sometimes I get some old games and those are cheaper. Due to that I buy 10-20 a year

When I didn't have a family, I would buy 5-8 games a year. Now it's more like 3 games a year, unless STEAM has a major deal. I once bought 7 games in one day from STEAM.

Well I don't know exactly but I can work out a average, in the first 4 months I have bought 5 games so on average probably 10 - 20.

Well if more good games came out this gen I would be buying one every two weeks like I use to in the older gens, but they aren't so probably around 10 which is just horrific to me.

I myself usually buy 5 or so (with my own money at full price). The rest I get with gift cards or for holidays or something.

I think this thread will give alot of people perspective. Either you come in here finding out how few games some people can afford and realize you're a fiend, or you come in here to find that most people buy more than you and you feel poor. :)

Also, I just bought Bully brand-new from Blockbuster for only $20.

I didn't used to buy that many, maybe 2 or 3. but I've bought about 5 or 6 games since the start of the year, and 3 of them were in the last 2 weeks.

generally if i see a bargain, I'll buy it. and it just so happens I've seen quite a few bargains since January.

A ton. I've bought five in a month on more than one occasion. I haven't bought anything in about three weeks and that's a long time for me.

In prior gens, I owned less than 10 games total. 2008 was the first full year of me owning my console and that year I purchased like... Naruto Broken Bond Lost Odyssey Tales of Vesperia Mirror's Edge Prince of Persia Infinite Undiscovery (Haven't played it yet) Eternal Sonata Crackdown (still haven't played it yet) Dead Rising The Darkness The Club Fallout 3 Lost Planet and a few more. I don't know what happened, but I turned into a video game fiend all of the sudden. Now, most of those game weren't purchased at full retail $60. About half of them were $20 or less. If I see a sale on a game that kinda interests me, i'll buy it. I also have a bad habit of buying games at full retail and then not playing them for months. I bought Mirror's Edge week 1 and didn't play it until like 3 weeks ago.

Depends on the used game prices and sales the stores have but id say about 30 games a year maybe, about half which will be new purchases. Id fluctuate that number up and down 10 depending on the year and whether im getting some older titles for fun or not.

In 2008 I bought 35 games and 2 games were given as presents to me.

My total expenditure for those 35 games was about 979.65$.
