Used to be 10+ every year but since about 2009/2010 it's cut down to about between 5-10 so I said 4-7 since it was usually down the lower end

Depends on sales, really. All the big releases this year were at $25 this month. I only bought one though--2k13. I did buy a wiiu....actually I think 2012 has been one of my biggest purchase years in quite some time.

I'm surprised 'over 15' is the highest option I ordered 8 games yesterday

Totally depends on what games I am interested in, however when Steam sales come around, I would buy games that I wouldn't usually play.

WAY over 15. I think I counted the gmaes I bought this gen to be around 310, but that is ofcourse 6 years. So 50 a year or so in average.

I average about 2 a month. I haven't kept track about the number of games I buy. Sometimes I buy 4 at a time. 24 is an average number.

I get around 5-10 at xmas, the rest of the year maybe 5 more... My time has been reduced for gaming over the years, which is ok, but my insanity about not playing another game till I finish the one Im on is unhealthy... I blame KOTOR... Feel like Ive been chasing the feeling of that game for years. I want to be that immersed again badly.

I don't think a lot about the number of games I get - on average - in a year because it does vary. However, in the past 2 - 2 1/2 months, I picked up 7 game deals on Amazon, 2 Xbox 360 games, and the God of War Saga has 5 included in it. Other than those, I got several good deals through Steam.

This last month I technically got 80 games included with an atgames portable Sega Genesis, and 75 games were included in an Atari Flashback 4.

Edit: Interesting how there are 'over 15' votes for that poll option :)

the real question here is from where you guys find the time to play 15+ games in a year? Most of you guys must be the kind that start too many games and never beat any... Right?And if you beat any it most be an 8 hours cookie cutter FPS game I bet. Right?

Bought about 34 this year.

Nah I didn't beat all the games I bought this year, but I played quite a few RPGs this year that were in my backlog.

I also beat 34 games this year, not all of those games were games I bought this year though. I do have a backlog of games from previous years; however, I played quite a few games for more than 20 hours, and a a bunch were RPGs.

MotorStorm Pacific Rift - 30 hours

Eternal Sonata - 34 hours

Mass Effect 3 - 25 hours

Dark Souls - 84 hours

Final Fantasy XII - 80 hours

Advance Wars Dual Strike - 20 hours

Assassin's Creed II - 35 hours

Tales of Vesperia - 40 hours

There were also games that I went through multiple times to get the platinum

Dark Souls
Uncharted 3
Rayman Origins

Resistance 3

I just have free time over the summer after work, and over the year after work and school.

I don't like the term "backlog"--it exhibits traits of being a junkie, that "omg I've better make some time to around to these games" vibe. I will say that I'll pick up a game here and there based on release date, sales, and future availability. If there's a game that interests me, one that isn't to popular, I'll pick it up on a sale before its hard to get, even if I play it a year or two later. For example, I bought a PS3 when the slim came out. I bought MGS4 and Uncharted with it. I didn't play MGS4 until a month or two ago.

I didn't buy many this year as it's honestly been a pretty terrible year for games, but I make up for it by buying fairly replayable games. Halo 4 alone should keep me occupied for a while.

I've bought probably 20 + games this year at a minimum... will take too much time to remember all of them.... but I've bought about 15 or so in just the past few months.

I put 3 or less because that is the rough average for full retail priced games I buy per year. If you count steam sales easily 15+ a year.

This year I've only bought 2: Diablo III and Xenoblade. Normally, I'd buy at least 15 games a year though.
