What console do you collect the most for?
« on: July 09, 2016, 05:24:32 pm »
Do you ever focus on one console for a while and then switch to another or do you just get random depending on what you want at the time?  :D

I just get what I think looks fun to play. I do tend to lean towards Nintendo and PlayStation more than the others. But I'm not intentionally doing it, I just have found more games for those systems that I want to play.

Top priority- Import Sega Saturn, and PC Engine CD games
Second priority- PS4, and PS2 games.

... and PC Engine CD games...

I gotta spring for one of those one of these days.  There was a couple or gorgeous ones at the Portland Retro Expo but... I just couldn't throw the money at one.  (had a great R and an RX)  I want a Shuttle (I know, no CD) just for the goofy controller.  Haven't seen one in person.


I buy whatever looks neat, but I'm generally drawn to buy more TG-16, Game Gear and Lynx... just 'cause I find them neat.  Also Vectrex, but... they're rarely priced well.

Right now PS2 has the most games I keep running into lots at yard sales this summer. Then I would say my xbox 360 and Sega Dreamcast game numbers are close to that one. Honestly I usually stick to my budget a week and whatever my local haunt has in stock is what I get. I prefer Dreamcast over all else (thanks to my ex...another story for another day). But last week I ended up buying a few SNES a few n64 and a box of Gameboy games.

Right now I mostly focus on the Original Xbox for two reasons. Mainly it's because I'm so close to finishing it off, but it's also because the Xbox was the first console I ever bought with my own money. The only other games I try to keep an eye out for are Playstation 3 games, but that's mostly because my collection is fairly unbalanced from last gen. I'd like at least another 100 PS3 games to balance out the 360 games.

167 games left in my wishlist to complete the original Xbox collection minus reprints(i.e. Platinum Hits, I hate reprints).

With 8000 items in your database, how is it that you don't have them all already? lol

I have a pretty focused collection. I went all out on my SMS and finished it. I spent a lot of time on the NES and now I have 730 or so titles on it. Now Im specifically PS4 and about to hit 200 titles on it.

Right now I'd say I'm mostly focused on collecting for PS3, PS1, and DS, in that order. However, my prioritization of specific consoles has changed over time. If you would have asked me several years ago, Dreamcast and PS2 were both my number one collecting priorities and the consoles I would have collected the most for.

In terms of amount of games, Playstation consoles dominate my collection by volume; between all four PS consoles, they make up probably close to hald of all the games I own which is at 1805 right now.

I wanna say we had this topic fairly recently.

SNES/N64 is always my top priority, but with how cheap PS2 games have been, it has just coincidentally become up there in my collection.  PS3 and 360 are working in that direction as well.

I think we did.

I usually go towards PS2 games since that's my favorite system.

I'm constantly looking for CIB Snes, but those not being always available at reasonable price, my PS3 got more attention lately.
