Your collection in 5-years from now
kashell:
I'm thinking my collection five years down the road won't have a remarkable change. A few games will be added, a few games will likely be removed. There will likely be some day one releases I can't live without. Chances are it will be greater than what it is now, but not by much. And that's perfect.
My only gaming goal was to purchase and play Panzer Dragoon Saga, and I accomplished that goal a few months ago.

Honestly....I don't know. I've currently taken my focus away from collecting video games to focus on Star Wars and comic books. My oldest daughter has also taken a keen interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so I've been picking up the Marvel movies to watch together.
Time is at a premium these days, so I don't have the time to invest in gaming. It makes absolutely zero sense for me to pick up modern games for full retail at or around launch when I could wait a few months to a year and get them for half or less. I haven't even finished Doom yet and I've barely scratched the surface of Uncharted 4.
From a collector's standpoint, I have my holy grail 20th Anniversary PS4 and my second most awesome system, the Gold Taco Bell PS4. There are maybe a dozen or so Star Wars games I want to pick up, but I'm going to be pretty picky about getting them complete.
Speaking of which, if anyone has a copy of Obi-Wan's Adventures complete in box for the Game Boy Color, I'm accepting donations! ;)

However, I'm still trying to determine if it is actually collector friendly. I don't play games usually until years after they come out. Not sure if this works with the Xbox One.

It depends on the game, but yes, you can play it years from now. If I'm not mistaken, both the Xbox and PS4 are installing the games from the disc to the harddrive, then use the disc that unlock the game. Some games like on Rare Replay actually do download online from the store though, with the backwards compatability games.

That's good to know. And kind of what I was seeing. One just has to be careful on what game they buy.

First of all I really hope that can be alive in five years and about my collection want to believe that will have at least the 500 titles, it's kinda hard to me to purchase games practically can only purchase two of them every month, but won't gonna stop neither purchasing or playing, got the idea that I'll become older faster if I stop playing ;D

How many games do you hope to have? What collections will you hope to be finished with and what new collecting goals do you think/hope you'll be working on? Feel free to answer these however you want, just be as descriptive about your collection as possible.
For me I am hoping to be 95% done with collecting NTSC games other than newer titles and probably some very expensive/rare titles that I haven't found or haven't bit the bullet and purchased. I'll hopefully be focusing collecting imports (especially Saturn, Dreamcast, and PS2 imports), completing my cartridge games (particularly for the n64), and I want to have at least a few Arcade cabs at this time too (currently have none). If I am 95% or more done with collecting, I'll easily be at over 2000 games as well. While it doesn't directly relate to games, I'll also have to have a place of my own at this point instead of renting since I have big plans for how my game room will look some day. Renting unfortunately does not permit me to have the freedom or money to do this now. Those arcade cabs take up a lot of space too.

I hope that it'll be leaner and meaner. It's hard to put a number on what it would end up at, because I often have thoughts of purging some stuff from it, particularly modern things, perhaps some games that I try out and just don't like. In 5 years time I really, really, hope that I'll be long done with active collecting. With only another 200 - 300 games left in my sights. If I can stay focused that is, because lately interest in game hunting is really waning. I've got my WoN case and that's really my game room in itself and I'm happy with it.
My next collecting goal will be to focus exclusively on my music collection. :P
