Survey: Which systems do you have more games for?

[DigitalSpace]

I got the idea to do a little backwards compatibility-related survey here.

The questions:
-2600, or 7800?
-PS1, PS2, or PS3?
-Xbox, or Xbox 360?
-Gamecube, or Wii?
-Game Boy, or GBC?
-GBA, or DS?

And here are my answers:

-2600, or 7800? - None, as I currently don't own either system, but this will change as I'll be getting a 2600 soon.
-PS1, PS2, or PS3? - PS2, with 110 games. I have 85 PS1 games and don't own a PS3.
-Xbox, or Xbox 360? - None, as I don't own either system
-Gamecube, or Wii? - Gamecube, with 72 games. I don't own a Wii, so there's not much of a competition here.
-Game Boy, or GBC? - Game Boy, with 58 games. I have 24 GBC games.
-GBA, or DS? - GBA, with 87 games. I have 20 DS games.

So, what about you?

2600, or 7800? -I use my 7800 to play all my stuff but have several 2600s. I have a modded Atari 2600 that needs some fixing. I have all but 5 games for the 7800 set, and I have about 400 Atari games that include hacks, homebrews and special show carts

PS1, PS2, or PS3?-I have a PS3 with 3 games , 100 PS2 titles and 400 PSX games. I see my PS2 game library growing alot in the future. Again I have all three, but I use my 20gig to play all. It looks very nice in HDMI.

-Xbox, or Xbox 360?-360 to play most my titles, but again I have both. I have about 25 360 titles and about 100 xbox games. I wish that MS just made an easier fix for the whole BC thing. Again, I own several Xbox systems, but my 360(original from day -3 that I won BTW)keeps on trucking. I am going to be pissed off when it dies.

Gamecube, or Wii?-I use my Wii to play all the games, but have a Gamecube hooked up with my Gameboy player. I have 10 Wii games and about 55 or So Gamecube games.

-Game Boy, or GBC?-I need to get an SP2, but I have a DS to play my 30 DS games and 75 GBA games. I have about 50 or so GB and GBC games, with systems to play them on, but they stay boxed.
-GBA, or DS?

You know what I love about this hobby(aside from meeting cool people like yourself digitalspace ), is that there is a system for anyone, retro or not, with a ton of games to had for cheap. I actually had people laugh at me when I used to ask for genesis games in stores. It is amazing what people start to care less about once a system or games stays out of the spotlight or is not marketed for anymore. Great Post


PS..I will get off my butt and send you out your Vader 2600 with games that you won this next week.

[Nebagram]

-2600, or 7800? 2600. I hardly have any 7800 at all, plus I find the 2600 games to be more collectable for some reason. I own both consoles, usually using the 7800 due to my 6-switcher's sound being a bit on the dodgy side.

-PS1, PS2, or PS3? PS2. Eeeeeeeeasily. I have about 170 PS2 games, 105 PS1s and about 20 PS3s (growing though). PS2 and PS1 are by a long distance my biggest collections. My PS3 is used exclusively for PS3 games, but my PS2 is still hooked up, and I recently acquired a PS1 with a screen.

-Xbox, or Xbox 360? 360, by virtue of the fact I never owned an original Xbox (and still don't- though they are something like £10 in my local GAME I'm holding out for a 'special' console if you follow my meaning.)

-Gamecube, or Wii? Gamecube by a factor of 2. I bought one on launch day and played it consistently until I got my Wii. Still hammer away at Cube games from time to time, though now on the Wii.

-Game Boy, or GBC? Original GB. Ironically I started playing them on an original GBA, then I picked up a GBC cheap, and acquired a cheap Gameboy Pocket recently.

-GBA, or DS? GBA by a factor of 2. I own an original GBA, an SP and a Micro so the DS (a fatty, incidentally) is pretty much exclusively for DS games.

[Battlehork]

2600/7800: About 40 total, 15 or so on the 7800 side

PS1/2/3: ~20 PS1, ~40 PS2, 8 PS3 (plus 3 download games)

Xbox/360: 10 Xbox (4 of which aren't compatible, and my original XBOX has gone to the bit bucket in the sky), 3 360 (plus 7 download games)

Gamecube/Wii: 5 Gamecube, 3 Wii

Don't have any GB/GBC

GBA/DS: 4 GBA, 6 DS

[Juganawt]

2600 or 7800? 2600 - 7 games. Don't own a 7800 yet.
PS1, PS2, or PS3? PS1 - 900+, PS2 60 (sold all the shitty ones off when I needed the cash... had about 400 at one point), and PS3 34 BR games. about 20 PSN downloads.
Xbox or Xbox 360? Xbox 1 - 3/400, Xbox 360 - 240 + 157 XBLA full versions...although 360 is gaining quick.
Gamecube / Wii: GC - 92 disc based, 30 Wii + 60 VC.
GB / GBC - I sold most of these when I was desperate for cash. I had 2 big boxes FULL of unboxed GB carts. Sold them for £1000, which worked out around £3 per cart. Got about 20 GB games and 10 GBC games left. And a 64Mbit flashcard.
GBA/DS - 100+ GBA originals + a Supercard Mini + a Flash2Advance 256mbit, 40 DS originals + an R4.

[izarate]

-2600, or 7800? 40 2600. I don't have a 7800 or any 7800 games.

-PS1, PS2, or PS3? 42 PS2. 15 PS1. 2 PS3. I neglected the PS1 over its lifetime in favor of the N64. I regret not making some purchases in that period. I don't have a PS3 yet, but I've been buying some games for it.

-Xbox, or Xbox 360? 29 Xbox. 0 Xbox 360. The "red ring of death" phenomenon is keeping me at bay at the moment. Still I don't see my Xbox 360 library ever surpassing my growing Xbox one. I've been preferring the Xbox, PC, Wii or PS3 versions of the games, if such exists. The only 3 games that are still in my wish list are Tales of Vesperia, Halo 3 and...Dead or Alive Xtreme 2

-Gamecube, or Wii? 46 Gamecube, 4 Wii. Not because a lack of games for the Wii but because I usually buy from the bargain bin and not many have shown up there.

-Game Boy, or GBC? 6 GBC, 1 GB. I only bought Metroid 2 for the GB, but I'll try to get the Mega Mans later.

-GBA, or DS? 29 GBA, 7 DS. Same as with the Wii.

[scooterb23]

I don't have exact numbers here, but by rough estimate:

-2600, or 7800? 300 to 30

-PS1, PS2, or PS3? 100 to 50 to 0

-Xbox, or Xbox 360? 40 to 25

-Gamecube, or Wii? 20 to 10

-Game Boy, or GBC? 150 to 6

-GBA, or DS? 20 to 25

[theChad]

-2600, or 7800? 90 2600, 0 7800
-PS1, PS2, or PS3? 50 PS1, 4 PS2, 0 PS3
-Xbox, or Xbox 360? 9 Xbox, 17 Xbox 360
-Gamecube, or Wii? 23 Gamecube, 10 Wii
-Game Boy, or GBC? 9 GB, 1 GBC
-GBA, or DS? 2 GBA, 6 DS

[Damaramu]

2600, or 7800 = zero for both

PS1, PS2, or PS3 = 56, 207, 0

Xbox, or Xbox 360 = 75, 20

Gamecube, or Wii = zero for both

Game Boy, or GBC = exactly 1 for each

GBA, or DS = 56, 33

[fergojisan]

-2600, or 7800? I have all of the 7800 games, and about 350 2600 games, so 2600 there.
-PS1, PS2, or PS3? None.
-Xbox, or Xbox 360? None.
-Gamecube, or Wii? Gamecube, but I just got a Wii last month, so it will change soon I'm sure.
-Game Boy, or GBC? Game Boy by a small margin. I never had a GB, only the GB player for SNES. I started buying GB and GBC games when I got a GBA.
-GBA, or DS? GBA, because they're cheaper for the most part.

[cyberfluxor]

-2600, or 7800?
20+ vs. 1. I tend to find interesting VCS carts so even after selling off nearly 60 carts last year I've allready accruded a bunch more. Without owning a 7800 loose carts just aren't too appealing. Now the 5200 has an adaptor for the VCS, but my mobo doesn't support it and I haven't decided to purchase the upgrade kit for my 4-port since I already own a VCS and they're a much cheaper alternative.

-PS1, PS2, or PS3?
120+ vs. 30+ vs. 0. I've been collecting PS1 games much longer and are cheaper + easier to come by. The PS2 is nice but there are plenty of titles I just stay away from, prefer a more unique experience with it. I've been playing my PS1 games on my PS2 for nearly 2 years now and haven't had my PS1 plugged up since.

-Xbox, or Xbox 360?
2 vs. 0. Don't own either but may own an Xbox sometime sooner than a 360 since they are now $40 locally, easy to come by ect. Only problem is there just aren't many games from the library I care for. I doubt I'll own more than 15 Xbox titles and many of those and others are already on the PC that I own.

-Gamecube, or Wii?
25+ vs. 0. No Wii though I'm thinking of getting one to put downstairs for news, weather, and information more so than just games. Would like to get one of those nice Hori sticks and some arcade games from the online service. The GC has been hooked up to the TV for the past 4.5 years and if a Wii came into the house I'd prolly pack it up into storage until I move.

-Game Boy, or GBC?
20+ vs. ~10. GB titles are more frequently available than GBC. Owning a Super Game Boy is nice too. Since the GBC uses less batteries though I generally grab that for playing both. I don't own a GBA handheld so that's not an option.

-GBA, or DS?
3 vs. 19. Never bought a GBA so the DS is the whole reason for even buying GBA titles.

[PapaStu]

2600 / 7800: 20ish to 0 No 7800 currently. If this was done when I was 6 i'd still have the 7800 and bunches of games.
PS1 / PS2 / PS3: 750+ to 450+ to 2 I don't have a PS3 currently so I have only those 2 games.
Xbox / Xbox 360: 184 to 42 Xbox won't get bigger, 360 will.
Gamecube / Wii: 118 to 29 Cube won't get bigger, Wii will.
Gameboy / GBC: About a wash at 10-15 games each
GBA / DS: 40-50 to 246

[Flashback2012]

-2600, or 7800?
2600. I have a 2600 unit somewhere in the house without about 15 or so titles for it. I've never owned or have even played a 7800.

-PS1, PS2, or PS3?
PS2 most likely. It's pretty close but I'm sure PS2 tops PS1 in my collection for most titles (I think I have more PS2 than anything else to be honest). I don't have any PS3 games as of this writing (or a system but that's never stopped me from buying the games before having the system)

-Xbox, or Xbox 360?
Xbox. Easily. I don't have a XB360 yet but I do have some games for it. I know I will eventually own a 360 unit (especially after this last price drop) but I have a TON more regular Xbox games than I do 360 titles.

-Gamecube, or Wii?
Gamecube. I don't have a Wii console yet so I've been holding off buying games for it. I did actually pick one up last night (Octomania) 'cuz it had a really good price, but that's 1 title versus quite a few on Gamecube.

-Game Boy, or GBC?
I thought this would be closer but I just counted and I have double the number of Gboy releases compared to GBC. Alot of my Gboy stuff was picked up as cart only whereas I only own GBC titles if they're CIB.

-GBA, or DS?
As of right now, GBA. I imagine it won't be long before DS eventually overtakes GBA in a few years as it's getting harder to acquire CIB GBA games as easy as it is to acquire CIB DS games.

[Trebuken]

-2600, or 7800? 120 vs. Complete Set.

-PS1, PS2, or PS3? 380 vs. 360 vs. 12

-Xbox, or Xbox 360? 485 to 52

-Gamecube, or Wii? 68 to 10

-Game Boy, or GBC? 52 to 48

-GBA, or DS? 44 to 58

[Pantechnicon]

(all counts are respective)

-2600, or 7800? - 304 to 38. I like both systems immensely, and the 7800 is the one that's hooked up precisely for the back compatibility.

-PS1, PS2, or PS3? - 35 to 15 to 0. Haven't gotten a PS3 yet. I'm more into the PS2 than PS1 though. I inherited about 10 titles with my first PS1 - all sports and wrestling - so a good chunk of my PS1 titles are mostly dead weight from a playability standpoint.

-Xbox, or Xbox 360? - 16 to 0. No 360 yet.

-Gamecube, or Wii? - 7 to 0. Same as above.

-Game Boy, or GBC? - 20 to 7. There were only a few GBC titles I really cared about. Zelda games and a few arcade ports.

-GBA, or DS? - 12 to 6. Eventually the DS will eclipse GBA as this is the modern system that's most holding my interest at the present.

[kylevoelsgen]

NES far exceeds any of my other systems, I have 231 games.

[namzep]

-2600, or 7800? I just picked up a 7800 so no contest: 135 for the 2600 and 3 for the 7800

-PS1, PS2, or PS3? PS2 by far. 26 for the PS1, 82 for the PS2, and 6 for the PS3

-Xbox, or Xbox 360? I don't own a 360 so another easy contest. I have 56 games for the XBox

-Gamecube, or Wii? Gamecube by far. I have 105 for the Gamecube and 18 for the Wii

-Game Boy, or GBC? 75 for the Gameboy and 30 for the GBC

-GBA, or DS? The DS wins by a count of 49 to 38

[chrisbid]

2600 (351) or 7800 (48)?
PS1 (153), PS2 (122), or PS3 (3)?
Xbox (72), or Xbox 360 (14)?
Gamecube (83), or Wii (23)?
Game Boy (44), or GBC (29)?
GBA (92), or DS (46)?

[BydoEmpire]

2600, or 7800? - 2600 by a wide margin (boxes of yardsale games from the late 80s/early 90s). 100-20 roughly.

PS1, PS2, or PS3? - ps2 by a little bit (don't own a ps3). Maybe 20 ps1 games, 30+ ps2 games. I did actually sell of a bunch of ps2 games a couple of years ago.

Xbox, or Xbox 360? - xbox by a wide margin (50 to 5 roughly). I just haven't gotten into the 360, and I've sold a lot of the games I had for it. Still haven't bought a single full-priced retail 360 game in the year and a half I've had it.

Gamecube, or Wii? - gamecube, but Wii is catching up. I think I have about 30-40 GC game and about 20 Wii games.

Game Boy, or GBC? - GBC - only owned an original GameBoy for a short time, and sold all the carts. I picked up a few GBC games for use on my GBA, so that kind of wins by default.

GBA, or DS? - GBA, but DS is catching up.

[j_factor]

It is the earlier system in every one of these scenarios. But I don't think that's just because I like old games. 7800 has only a tiny handful of games I'd ever actually want. PSX (I refuse to call it PS1) is one of my favorite systems so I have a lot of games for it. I love the Xbox, and don't even own a 360. The Wii is still new-ish whereas I've owned a Gamecube for 5-1/2 years (although the Wii is catching up). The GBC library is smaller, shorter-lived, and IMO not as good as the original Game Boy's (not that I'm a huge fan of either). GBA and DS are very close, but ultimately I also prefer the GBA.

However, I have more GBA games than original GB and GBC combined. I also have more Genesis games than Master System games (it counts!). But you didn't ask those.
