How much is too much? - Wii, WiiWare & Virtual Console Forum

I noted recently that my games collection had exceeded my wildest childhood dreams. Over the past two months alone, 12 new Wii games have been purchased (or traded for) and my collection is currently sitting at just over 50 Wii games plus another 35+ GameCube games. It's starting to make me wonder: how much is too much? When you have far more games than free time to enjoy them, is something wrong? My justification (to myself and my wife) for owning so many games now hinges on several key points: (1) I've been very dilligent about looking for good deals. For example, the average price per game for those 12 new additions has been roughly $15+tax... and it would have been lower except for one title pushing the averages up. (2) Buying games when they are available is easier and often cheaper than looking for them later. (3) With a new addition to our family on the way, this is my last great splurge. I'm essentially "setting myself up" for months or maybe years to come. Am I turning into a hoarder? Do you think I have too many games? Interested in hearing the size of other collections, and what your thoughts/opinions are about buying games. (For the record, my last 12 games were: Boom Blox Bash Party, Cursed Mountain, Dawn of Discovery, Dead Space Extraction, Chocobos Dungeon, The Godfather, Star Wars Lego, Little King's Story, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mushroom Men, Pikmin NPC, and Rabbids Go Home.)

Don't worry too much, just since Christmas I've bought 34 disc based games and about 20 downloaded games. Make that 36, I forgot I got Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings and Trauma Center Second Opinion out in the car.

I am the one you despise. I am he who says what you really deep down know but are affraid to admit. I am the Anti-Fanboy, the crusader of truth in a world built on your lies.

Well, I had near 50 DS games.... and I have every single DS system (except the DSi XL).

Offtopic-ish: I'm an obsessor of Nintendo (I got N and never got out!) and trust me, even when my friends here pimp up Sony as "the" gaming company that is worth supporting, I just scoff and say, "which system introduced you to gaming?" Wait for tons of answers stating either Game Boy Color or N64. Priceless.
