None, actually. I seem to buy games I want to play.
I'm sure most people that have huge backlogs are buying games they "want" to play, I sure as hell don't buy any rubbish games. The problem is most of us get lured by the "sales" and end up with more things than we legitimately have time for. This is especially true this time of year, I got a bunch of games from Black Friday and Christmas gifts that I probably won't finish for months - and a few I haven't even started yet. Yet, I'm sure throughout 2018 I'll buy at least a few games, ad also participate in a few digital sales. Hell, I still have Christmas stuff from prior years that I still "want" to play, but haven't had time to start yet - because there are also games on the horizon that I anticipate even more. That's before we even get into the random digital games, which is where most people probably really pile onto their games backlog (Steam sales, PSN flash sales, and such).
I try not to buy games "just for the hell of it" unless I feel the price is so ridiculously low that it probably won't go any lower. Generally, if I'm buying a game brand new on release, I'll get into it right away (otherwise it would be an even more ridiculous waste). If it's an older game, then I'll just play it whenever.
