That's weird. I have 38 games, and my GF must have at least half that for her console. I guess there are some people that have just one game?

I'll just assume you got these games when new.

$60 x 38 = $2280.




I'll take a new computer over that any day.

Well, I have a desktop and a laptop. I don't really need another computer.

I guess you spend your money on things you want. I buy games and guns, you may want a new computer. I will say I want my money back for Stranglehold! (The demo fooled me.) haha.

Oh, congrats again for a second time without the f-bomb. You are making all kinds of progress! haha! :)

makes sense. I have about 15+ 360 games, 5 wii games (which are horrid and were mostly gifts), and 2 ps3 games (which are also horrid).

I always wonder if these numbers include XBLA games too. I'm guessing it's retail only

Has to be retail only. I've purchased about 20 retail games in the time I've owned a 360. I currently own 7 retail games, 2 XBox Originals and 11 XBLA games. So I'm sure I skew that attach rate as well.

I have 12 360 games not including the gawd awful burger king ones, but I have 15 xbla games too, I don't like buying them or keeping them a long time unless the replay value is there

I have about 7, doesn't seem like that many until I start counting them out. All solid games, and there are about 5 or 6 more I could have bought but decided against.

Today is my 360's 1 year anniversary and I already have 26 games. If someone told me I'd have that many now a year ago I would have been laughing my ass off.

Had my 360 a year and a bit and have 12 games and 11 arcade, soon to be 12 when REZ arrives.

For comparisons sake i have 30 ps2 games, not counting the ones i've traded in over the years- all of which were bought spread thinly over a SIX year period.

My attach rate is because of the quantity of games i can actually afford, the quality of the library on offer, or the fact that my taste and eye for picking out games has changed over the past few years. go figure.

I've been shocked at how efficient the Xbox 360 is at making me shell out loot for games. I rocked a Dreamcast for about 5 years with maybe 3 games. Jet Grind Radio, NFL 2Ksomethin' and NBA 2KIforget. Now I've got 19 retail 360 games, 3 Xbox back-compat discs, 1 Xbox original, and 35 Xbox Live Arcade games. I'm plateauing though. My current "to get" list is pretty tiny and there are only maybe 5 games I'm super excited about in '08.

Dreamcast forever! We kept coming back to the original Virtua Tennis, and Zombie Revenge. There were a lot of great games there but those two were staples.

Means we don't have to worry about any developers not wanting to develop for the 360! (Unless its some exclusive somewhere else, but those are few and far between)

w00t for developers!

And this is what sony needs to worry about. Not someday outselling it in hardware, but getting the software sales up. As it stands for the ps3 to sell as much software as the 360...if would have to have an install base of around 120 million.

Jeez, whoa!!! I only have 3 games (one of which I won in a contest) and only plan on getting about 3 in the future, as of right now. I don't know if I'd ever really finish something like 20+ games- it would take forever, especially considering the length and replay value of some of the titles! I guess the 360's lineup is very solid, though, so I can't really complain...

7 games? Lets see:
Halo 3
Bioshock
Mass Effect
R6 Vegas
Gears
COD 4
ummm...Fight Night maybe?
Forza?

OK I give, how the hell do some people on here have 20+ games without using terms like suck, ass, worthless, or I was fooled (ok someone said that they were fooled). Man, 20+ games...Hell both next gen systems AND the Wii have about 25 kick ass games. I guess some people have money to burn. I need to ask the military for a raise...

Those are all good games, and YES, fight night round 3 is a must own. A couple of others that I'm happy to own:

Graw 1&2
PGR 3&4
Crackdown
The Darkness
Overlord
Command & Conquer
F.E.A.R.
Assassin's Creed
Ace Combat 6
Orange Box
Guitar Hero games
Rock Band

Now, some of these are personal taste (C&C or The Darkness), but some can't be disputed (Crackdown, The Orange Box, or Rock Band).

Not bad considering there are probably a lot of people who bought more than one 360 for themself. I own 3 and about 25 games. Makes sense! Great system! Not the greatest hardware though!

I have about 35 for 360 games 10 I'm planning on returning, 3 BK games that i got for a gift lol, and the rest I play frequently enough to keep them. Then, I have 2 PS3 games that I never play. Then, I have 5 Wii games which I play if my bro is hoggin the 360, and dont feel like playing multiplayer. I would like to see the attach rates for the PS3 and Wii, I'm guessing the Wii is about 1-3 and PS3 is about 0-1.

119 Retail, 35 XBLA games here. Along with a high power, self built PC. I get the best of both worlds (except that empty bank balance feeling).

Games are cheap enough if you're willing to search for the cheapest prices, willing to buy pre-owned, or take advantage of multibuy deals. If you're in the UK, take advantage of http://find-games.co.uk for cheap price search, and http://hotukdeals.com for multibuy/special offers. This isnt an ad, just a very hearty recommendation.

Hmm, let's see....

PGR, Battlefield, Saint's, Viva, Tiger, Gears, Crackdown, Rainbow 6, GHII, GHIII, Halo3, COD4, Orange Box, Mass Effect

14 off the top of my head. And the majority of those I'd consider 'killer apps'!

I don't even want to think about what 14 retail games have cost me! Not to mention my Boomerang rentals, XBLA games and DLC!

Well I counted the other day and I have 23 retail games, well 24 if you count my 2 Halo 3. I will have 30 by the end of the year easily.

I count as 3 people alone, and as many people have 40+ games there are either lots of games in collections that are used, or some people don't have a game at all. I can't really see how the numbers can add up. If just 10% of owners have 40 games, and 10% have 30, and 20% have 20. That makes around 11 games per player. And those numbers seem about right to me, so what do the other 60% play.
