Look at BaB....he buys pretty much every new game that comes out (exaggeration, but still...). How many of those games does he actually beat?
This is a good article on the issue (and funny):

I'm poor....and when you throw in my wicked longing for nostalgia and my need to fulfill that nostalgia by playing old games....it's just an equation to buy less new games. I don't think growing up has anything to do with it at all as I plan to game for the rest of my life. |
Well since you mentioned me by name, I thought it would be interesting to check as I haven't kept tabs myself.
Now according to my 360 profile, 73 "gameS" have been played. For some odd reason, they count Halo Waypoint, which isn't anything so gonna drop that down to 72.
Of those 72, I have questionable beaten 21 of them. I've seen the start and the finish.
That brings us down to 51 games or so. Now of those 51, I don't know how we count sports/wrestling/music/arcade games which don't really have a clear ending.
I own/have been played on my console 24 of those.
And you throw in the 5 games I've never played, but have been played on my console, it isn't a bad list of games haven't played.
Now on the Wii, I have 70 "channel" saves
9 of those are Wii channels/VC games
So we are down to 61,
Of those 61, I have beaten 18.
The second group, has....15 games.
And now for my PS3... I've beaten 3 games.
So I've beaten a grand total of 42 games this generation, which is still an impressive feat.
And played about 39 games that don't have real clear beginnings and endings.
