I have noticed that most of my friends who have new game systems don't own too many games. They own maybe 2 and thats about it.

Like Xbox gamers only concentrate on Halo or MOH

Ps2 owners concentrate on GTA series

Are these the only games that appeal? Why spend alot of money on a system to play only one video game?

i think i'd buy a gamecube just to play ssbm, then again there are a lot of other games i would play.

i think sports games dont offer enough challange.

I just beat the super mario bros 2 world record!

I noticed that some people don't hold on to games, they beat the game and then trade it in. I used to do this but not anymore. I remember trading in Star Wars KOTOR and wanting to play it again so I went out and bought it again.

Because games at $50 each can add up real quick too...

That's true, which is why I usually wait for second hand copies to become available, which is usually a couple of weeks after the game first comes out. Unless I really want the game right away.
