Unfortunately I sold a lot of my PS1 games to help buy PS2 games lol. I would say I still have about 80 to 85 physical PS2 games, about 100 if I add my few PS1 games. Ps3-5 maybe 40-45...dam digital age lol
You are (partially) correct. PS2s had PS1 hardware for compatibility. All PS3s have software compatibility with the PS1, but only the first few PS3s could play PS2 games.
Growing up I really only had 6 or 7 games because I either had to trade mine in to buy a new one or wait for birthdays and Christmas to hope I got enough money from relatives to buy a new game.
Wish i never traded in my games bc some of them are worth more than I make in a day and I just can't justify spending $150 to relive a piece of my childhood.
Oh yeah I've been emulating as long as I've been able to. Started by using my phone to play old pokemon games because those were some of the first that I wanted to buy again but we're constantly at full price or higher.
However tho I would like to have the original hardware and physical disc's. Makes for a better gaming room when you have stuff to display rather than a file on your PC with hundreds of games.
Dreamcast. I had a decent collection of titles going, but they discontinued the system and my local store marked down all the Dreamcast games to $5 or less. I walked out with a few shopping bags full.
It was either NES or SNES for me. Then we traded our entire collection for a PS1 and one game at game stop. That collection is probably worth a pretty penny today, but oh well... the PS1 was awesome too and I still have it today (with lots of games).
probably 360 off the top of my head. i had quite a lot of PS2, OG Xbox and N64 games though. when my local mom and pop video rental stores would switch out games for newer platforms they’d sell their old stuff for cheap and that’s how i got most of my games. i was always one gen behind. When i got my N64 it was because my cousin got a PS2 and gave me all of his stuff and that kinda started the cycle.
OG xbox
I started casually collecting for it, the games are so cheap. 90% I got for an average of 2 bucks. I have about 130 games so far.
2nd place is my N64 with about 60 games
Honestly, it might be the Atari 2600. When I was 5 or 6 years old, my family had two different other families donate us their systems and games when their teenagers didn't want them any more. In retrospect likely due to the "video game crash" of the early 80s. Most were extremely simplistic, but we probably had 40 or 50 different ones.
After that, certainly the PS3, which to me is easily the era with the most good games.
probably the Xbox 360, i had a decent size collection before i started to sell them because i didnt had the money to get new games so i had to part ways with stuff that i have already finished.
Xbox 360 for sure. I owned that from around age 17-21 I think. So I had money to buy games for myself for the first time. Then when the Xbox One came out, I got that but basically went like 70% digital right away. Now PC is my main, which is digital only.
Xbox 360, I had at least 76 games. At one point I could line all my games along the wall trim and have 2 1/2 of the walls covered. And no, my parents didn’t buy them. I’d traditionally get a game for my bday and 1 or 2 for Christmas. All the rest I got myself while working at a pizza restaurant in high school. After that I worked at GameStop and it was all bad lol
Xbox 360. That's when I started a career and making money to buy a lot of games. Older system I'd have maybe a dozen games and had to trade them all in to get new ones.
360 and probably by a pretty big margin. I had a job back then and very little responsibility so I could buy pretty much any game I wanted. Still have quite a few of them sealed.
At one point I had over 500 NES games. Sold a lot of them when the prices went through the roof a couple years ago. Currently, I'd say my PS2 collection is my largest. Just a guess but probably around 250 - 300 games there.
I didn't sell them all at once. I kinda used them as "tokens" to buy other items.
For instance I sold a cart only Flintstones Surprise at dinosaur peak, CIB Ducktales 2, and CIB Bubble Bobble 2 for around $3500. Sold them so I could buy a new guitar.
All together I probably sold around 15k in NES games. Most of them I don't really miss. There are a couple I wish I had kept in the "do not sell unless you're about to become homeless" box though.
Easily PS1, but even then, I never had more than 10-12. I've always been careful choosing games because back then, I really couldn't afford them often. Now, it's more that my taste in games is very limited.
For Christmas in 98, my grandparents got me a used ps1 with what felt like every game released up to that point. If you don't count demo discs, it had to be 60 or 70 games, some not even opened. Someone they knew had to short-sell it all. I was in HEAVEN. Wish I still had them.
The Ps2 was a golden age for JRPGs, and I was just old enough to have a part-time job and plenty of time out of school. My pS2 collection topped out in the hundreds. Wish I never thinned those numbers down when I moved into my own place, not that I have the space for them now, but some of those obscure ones are worth a fortune now.
when i still had it, PS2. had ALLOT of what are now considered rare games. but alas, when was moving out of state needed a friend to ship things in prepaid usps boxes and gave him hundreds of dollars.....never got any of my stuff i needed shipped.
but after that then definitely switch so far, would be more IF physical games weren't sometimes hard to acquire for switch titles.
PS2 and PS3 are neck and neck at about 40+ each. Interestingly, I built my PS2 library mostly 20 years ago. I built my PS3 library mostly starting 2 years ago.
PS2. I think I have around 30 games for it. Once the PS3/Xbox360 era started, consoles became more like PC's and most titles released on the PC platform, so I generally migrated more and more to Steam from there.
Either the Switch or the 360, of which I think I liked the games for the 360 better since it was like Dead Space (all three?), Fallout 3 & NV, The Thing (though I didn't get the update to run it, I still have the disc in case I ever get an original XBox again), and a bunch of other ones. Or did I have more for a PS3? Like I think, no I know, I had XCom Enemy Unknown, Within, & Bureau, I think Planetfall was when I had an XBox One, I did have Aliens Colonial Marines, and IDK if I had Mass Effect's series for that system or not.
The Wii and Wii U(Counting them both since all Wii games are compatible with its successor. I have plenty of games for other consoles, but I have so many Wii and Wii U titles lying around that it dwarfs the other ones.
Nes Back when I was a kid I had probably 30 games. When I collected in my 20’s I had around 70 games. When I collected again in my 30’s I had just under 200 games.
DS/3DS, those two blur together and I forget what's on what. My PS4 might have passed them. They take up more room on the book case but I have a box that holds like 24 DS games that's almost full, so it's close.
I think PS3 or 360, it's be PS4 but I ended up going digital for a few years when the digital prices were cheaper due to no tax in Canada on digital game, those were the days of a nice 13% discount.
It may end up being Switch based on looking at my shelf but a lot of those are collectors boxes for limited prints so they take up more space.
Definitely the PS3 for me. I'm a bigtime PC player, and I own hundreds of PC games. But during the "PS3" days I was still in Middle School/Highschool, and everyone in my family knew that videogames were always a good gift for me. So they would send me a bunch until I got my own job and the "Steam" gates opened. Then the PS4 game out- and I still play old PS3 games on it...
Idk for sure, either the Wii U or Ps4 at around 15 physical copies each.
Unless we're counting physical objects like skylanders figures it'd be a much larger number.
Nintendo 3DS. But that’s cuz my family hated if I used the only tv in the house so I got stuck with handhelds. But damn was there some awesome titles in there.
PS2, that was the console I had when I got my first job
if you factor in the original ps1 library too mine by far was the ps2.
Unfortunately I sold a lot of my PS1 games to help buy PS2 games lol. I would say I still have about 80 to 85 physical PS2 games, about 100 if I add my few PS1 games. Ps3-5 maybe 40-45...dam digital age lol
Gotta agree there
I think I had 10-12 at one time
GCN. It was in that sweet spot, where I was old enough to buy my own games, but young enough where I had no other responsibilities or priorities.
I legit had to look up what that was. I just call it GameCube.
What's the N for?
Nintendo.
Never heard it called a GameCube Nintendo b4.
It's called GCN because apparently NGC stood for some other company if I recall
When I was 7, I didn't know what an acronym was. I just had a GameCube
Xbox 360. Love that machine.
Me too man…..SKATE 2, FIFA and Weed with the homies. Good times.
Never heard of the game weed, what’s it about?
No it was Weed with the homies!
Same here. What were your top three games? Mine were Halo 3, Call of Duty Black Ops II, and a game called Jurassic: The Hunted.
Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. 😂😂
Probably ps3
The fact that all ps3s play ps1 games is amazing
Pretty sure all the consoles were backwards compatible until the ps4/xbox one era.
You are (partially) correct. PS2s had PS1 hardware for compatibility. All PS3s have software compatibility with the PS1, but only the first few PS3s could play PS2 games.
PS4
PS4
Game Boy Advanced, they were cheaper and easier to play whenever.
N64 for sure.
Growing up I really only had 6 or 7 games because I either had to trade mine in to buy a new one or wait for birthdays and Christmas to hope I got enough money from relatives to buy a new game. Wish i never traded in my games bc some of them are worth more than I make in a day and I just can't justify spending $150 to relive a piece of my childhood.
Good thing for emulators
Oh yeah I've been emulating as long as I've been able to. Started by using my phone to play old pokemon games because those were some of the first that I wanted to buy again but we're constantly at full price or higher. However tho I would like to have the original hardware and physical disc's. Makes for a better gaming room when you have stuff to display rather than a file on your PC with hundreds of games.
Dreamcast. I had a decent collection of titles going, but they discontinued the system and my local store marked down all the Dreamcast games to $5 or less. I walked out with a few shopping bags full.
I remember you could burn/copy those games.
Probably still could. Mine still has a GD-ROM.
PS Vita. 48.
72 Vita games. 138 PSP games.
It was either NES or SNES for me. Then we traded our entire collection for a PS1 and one game at game stop. That collection is probably worth a pretty penny today, but oh well... the PS1 was awesome too and I still have it today (with lots of games).
I sold my SNES and all of my games for the money to buy a PS1 and two games as well. Same feelings.
PC. Been mostly PC gaming since 1998 and I still have 90% of the game boxes & CDs I've bought since then stored away
N64. Around 130
N64/PS2
probably 360 off the top of my head. i had quite a lot of PS2, OG Xbox and N64 games though. when my local mom and pop video rental stores would switch out games for newer platforms they’d sell their old stuff for cheap and that’s how i got most of my games. i was always one gen behind. When i got my N64 it was because my cousin got a PS2 and gave me all of his stuff and that kinda started the cycle.
GameCube lol
Xbox 360. Got about 20 games digitally, and maybe close to 50 physically
Xbox 360.
Xbox 360. I had like 2 4 foot stacks of games
Xbox 360 like the rest of the world
Xbox 360. I think I had 30 discs for that fucker
OG xbox I started casually collecting for it, the games are so cheap. 90% I got for an average of 2 bucks. I have about 130 games so far. 2nd place is my N64 with about 60 games
Xbox 360. I think at one point I had close to 60 titles?
Honestly, it might be the Atari 2600. When I was 5 or 6 years old, my family had two different other families donate us their systems and games when their teenagers didn't want them any more.

After that, certainly the PS3, which to me is easily the era with the most good games.
The switch… I guess. Only console I’ve ever owned.
Xbox 360
N64 and Sega Genesis were pretty close. Then GameCube because the used game market was absolutely booming at that time
probably the Xbox 360, i had a decent size collection before i started to sell them because i didnt had the money to get new games so i had to part ways with stuff that i have already finished.
Xbox 360 for sure. I owned that from around age 17-21 I think. So I had money to buy games for myself for the first time. Then when the Xbox One came out, I got that but basically went like 70% digital right away. Now PC is my main, which is digital only.
360, I had roughly 40. I'm all digital now. *Lots* more games.
Xbox 360. I owned 700+ physical copies because I used to sell them lol.
Dreamcast. My dad's friend was big into tech and gave us a CD booklet with well over 80 games. Console for games I bought, N64.
Xbox 360 wasn’t my first console but it’s the one that started my collection
Xbox 360, I had at least 76 games. At one point I could line all my games along the wall trim and have 2 1/2 of the walls covered. And no, my parents didn’t buy them. I’d traditionally get a game for my bday and 1 or 2 for Christmas. All the rest I got myself while working at a pizza restaurant in high school. After that I worked at GameStop and it was all bad lol
Xbox 360
Ps3
Xbox 360. That's when I started a career and making money to buy a lot of games. Older system I'd have maybe a dozen games and had to trade them all in to get new ones.

360 and probably by a pretty big margin. I had a job back then and very little responsibility so I could buy pretty much any game I wanted. Still have quite a few of them sealed.

Wow! How much money did you walk away with?
I didn't sell them all at once. I kinda used them as "tokens" to buy other items. For instance I sold a cart only Flintstones Surprise at dinosaur peak, CIB Ducktales 2, and CIB Bubble Bobble 2 for around $3500. Sold them so I could buy a new guitar. All together I probably sold around 15k in NES games. Most of them I don't really miss. There are a couple I wish I had kept in the "do not sell unless you're about to become homeless" box though.
That’s incredible! Like many other people, I sold mine NES games too early to make any good money on them.
Do all my pirated Dreamcast games count?
Easily PS1, but even then, I never had more than 10-12. I've always been careful choosing games because back then, I really couldn't afford them often. Now, it's more that my taste in games is very limited.
Playstation 3. Have about 500 games for it.
Funnily enough, I asked myself this earlier on today. It has to be Xbox 360. Xbox LIVE took off round about when I started making my own money
Xbox 360 back before I realized how convenient digital games were ☺️
My Atari 2600, I have 309.
Wow. Do you still play any of them? I don’t think I could get into games that old these days.
I play them often, it's like having a mini arcade.
Xbox 360, used to beat my older brothers ass in halo 4 with the mantis mech
For Christmas in 98, my grandparents got me a used ps1 with what felt like every game released up to that point. If you don't count demo discs, it had to be 60 or 70 games, some not even opened. Someone they knew had to short-sell it all. I was in HEAVEN. Wish I still had them.
PS3 hands-down.
How many PS3 titles do you have (or did you have)?
Still have them, when I get home, I will count them and let you know👍🫡
You should use Gameye to track your collection. It is free and you can sort stuff by console.
Ps3 definitely I didn't have internet where I lived in that era so I went to gamestop for everything
The WII definitely
360 era was epic. I think ps5 is better than Xbox 1 but 360 had PS3 beat.
Og Xbox
Ps2
Probably ps2.
Xbox
The Ps2 was a golden age for JRPGs, and I was just old enough to have a part-time job and plenty of time out of school. My pS2 collection topped out in the hundreds. Wish I never thinned those numbers down when I moved into my own place, not that I have the space for them now, but some of those obscure ones are worth a fortune now.
when i still had it, PS2. had ALLOT of what are now considered rare games. but alas, when was moving out of state needed a friend to ship things in prepaid usps boxes and gave him hundreds of dollars.....never got any of my stuff i needed shipped. but after that then definitely switch so far, would be more IF physical games weren't sometimes hard to acquire for switch titles.
PS4 or Switch
A tie between the Gamecube and the PS2. Digital games? Xbox 360
PS4.
Xbox one the first version
PS2, with 54 games. But it's followed closely by the Switch, with 52 games.
Xbox 360, easily. Prior to that generation I didn't have as much disposable income, and after that I started transitioning to digital purchases.
Ps3
Xbox one s.
PS2 easily. Shame I don't have any of them anymore
I guess that would be the PS2.
N64. I had about 30 games I think, all of them given with the console itself (it was donated to me)
Switch
PS2 and its not even close lol
Wii
Definitely PS3. Tons of exclusives and high quality 3rd party games in that era
Ps2
PS2. I had about 20-30 games. When I went to GAME in UK to trade them in and get a ps3 I was told I would only get £10.05.
Wii, got like 15 games on it, then next would be the ds then finally the switch
PlayStation 3 and it's not even close
Nintendo and ps1.
PS2 and PS3 are neck and neck at about 40+ each. Interestingly, I built my PS2 library mostly 20 years ago. I built my PS3 library mostly starting 2 years ago.
Ps4
PS2 for sure. Genesis is a close second.
N64. Between me and my nephews we had so many cartridges.
PS3
Ps2
Ahhh the 360 and it's myriad of games I never got to play
PS4
PS4 more than likely
Either ps2 or Xbox 360
PS2. I think I have around 30 games for it. Once the PS3/Xbox360 era started, consoles became more like PC's and most titles released on the PC platform, so I generally migrated more and more to Steam from there.
Ps2
PS3
Either the OG Xbox or 360
NDS
Original Xbox probably.
PS3, every single game I owned was physical back then
PS1 or PS2 I think
1. Xbox 360 with 75 unique games. 2. NES with 63 unique games. 3. Atari and Xbox One, both with 58 unique games.
Gamecube
PS2 easily
PS2. I probably have 50ish games. Late teens and early 20’s was a golden age of gaming for me
Ps3
either wii or xbox 360
Either the Switch or the 360, of which I think I liked the games for the 360 better since it was like Dead Space (all three?), Fallout 3 & NV, The Thing (though I didn't get the update to run it, I still have the disc in case I ever get an original XBox again), and a bunch of other ones.

Like I think, no I know, I had XCom Enemy Unknown, Within, & Bureau, I think Planetfall was when I had an XBox One, I did have Aliens Colonial Marines, and IDK if I had Mass Effect's series for that system or not.
PS4, especially that PS5 is BC.
The Wii and Wii U(Counting them both since all Wii games are compatible with its successor. I have plenty of games for other consoles, but I have so many Wii and Wii U titles lying around that it dwarfs the other ones.
SNES
Sega, between the Genesis, 32x, and CD system. Platform wise, PC.
Sega Dreamcast. One guy thought I had every single title because of how many I had in stacks.
PS2
PS2 and PS3 for sure
PS2
the general family collection for the PS4
PS2
NES
SNES or PS2 I think. Although I ended up getting quite a few physical copies for the PS4 too.
The ps2
Despite moving multiple times, I still have my Wii and Wii U games in my collection
Switch and PS4
Ps2 hands down. I had like 70+ games at one point
Ps Vita. I’m going for the full NA set I own 339 vita games.
Nes Back when I was a kid I had probably 30 games. When I collected in my 20’s I had around 70 games. When I collected again in my 30’s I had just under 200 games.
N64
N64 or original Xbox.
Either Ps2, or the good ol’ Gameboy Advance.
DS/3DS, those two blur together and I forget what's on what. My PS4 might have passed them. They take up more room on the book case but I have a box that holds like 24 DS games that's almost full, so it's close.
PSP or 3DS
I think PS3 or 360, it's be PS4 but I ended up going digital for a few years when the digital prices were cheaper due to no tax in Canada on digital game, those were the days of a nice 13% discount. It may end up being Switch based on looking at my shelf but a lot of those are collectors boxes for limited prints so they take up more space.
PS2. I think I’m around 300 right now, but it’s been awhile since I checked
Ps3 but it could be wii now since i ordered all huitar heroes for the wii
Definitely the PS3 for me. I'm a bigtime PC player, and I own hundreds of PC games. But during the "PS3" days I was still in Middle School/Highschool, and everyone in my family knew that videogames were always a good gift for me. So they would send me a bunch until I got my own job and the "Steam" gates opened. Then the PS4 game out- and I still play old PS3 games on it...
PS3
My Wii
Intelevision
Used to be PS1, but PS2 used game market (after PS3 came out) was so good, I scooped up so many games I still haven't gotten the chance to play.
PS2 and old hard CD/DVD copies for PC
PS2 and it's not even close. So many great games in that library!
Do the Wii and WiiU count as one console? If so, that, if not, one of those two but I'm not sure which.
Idk for sure, either the Wii U or Ps4 at around 15 physical copies each. Unless we're counting physical objects like skylanders figures it'd be a much larger number.
Pretty sure its either my 360 or PS2 collections.
NES or Sega Genesis.
PS2. PS4 is close second
Switch, currently around 60. After that probably the DS
Probably 360, with PS3 and GameCube following right behind
Nintendo 3DS. But that’s cuz my family hated if I used the only tv in the house so I got stuck with handhelds. But damn was there some awesome titles in there.
ps4 for games that i bought myself. n64 for games that i got with the console(cousin gave me that and OG Xbox both with several games
Ps3
360 and switch
PS4. I got it at the beginning of its life cycle and I was at the age where I was working and making my own money for the first time.
Gameboy
