Welcome to Stiq Figures, where the sales data is after the break (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/11/03/stiq-figures-october-21-27-my-backlog-haunts-me-edition/#continued) and the posts don't matter.

Look at this picture. Look at it! That's just a fraction of what I wish I had the time to play, and I haven't even filled in the PS3-shaped chasm of games that I've missed out on during this generation. So what am I doing with the coming weeks, you ask? I, uh ... might have a PS4 and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (http://www.joystiq.com/game/assassins-creed-4-black-flag/) pre-ordered. Most of these games haven't been started, never mind the hours involved with actually completing RPGs like Final Fantasy 9 (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/08/final-fantasy-ix-hitting-japanese-psn-may-20/) and Lost Odyssey (http://joystiq.com/game/lost-odyssey), but I've already set myself up to jump into a whole new library!
Every purchase I make on Amazon feels like a relapse on a self-control level. As I fetch the involved pouches from the mailbox, I can't help but wonder if I'm just throwing money away by buying things to put them on a shelf. What other use could extra games serve when I'm already buried?
If you're anything like me (hello, Steam users), maybe we should peer-pressure each other into finishing what we've already purchased before going on spending sprees for every game we've ever wanted. Unless you've got a master plan to wrap things up before these new consoles hit, in which case you should totally share it with me before I spend grocery money on games. Let's talk backlogs in the comments, right after you check out this week's Japanese hardware sales after the jump!
