    Default System Final Game Count

    How many games do you think the systems( Xbox, GC, Ps2) will end up with by the time they are discountinued? Also, how many games are there for each system right now, a rough estimate.

    Not as many as other consoles like the DreamCast, 32X, Mega Cd, Saturn Etc... Ha! All Sega Consoles! Who'd have thought!


    I would estimate there are about 2000 PS2 games by now, and around 400 GameCube and Xbox games... Bearing in mind the PS2 has been out two and a half years longer than the other two!


    It's a crazy world out there - people rteleasing games left, right, and centre - I remember the Snes and Mega Drive never had this many games to choose from!!!

    But then, we never really had three major players back then...



    How many games did the PS1 and N64 end up with? And what about the NES, MS, Snes, and Mega Drive Etc???

    This site has a graph game comparison total count doesn't it? I know I've seen it here.

    I meant in total - Japanese games included.

    I would possibly say that it has reached 1000 a long time ago though! That's only about 250 games released in a year, plus you also have all these budget games now flooding the supermarkets...

    Yeah - PS2 might have 2000 titles but, how many would you actually play?
    At last count (US/C titles) my total was around 200 games - 1:10 ratio isn't that great. I'll bet at least 800 of those 2000 games are sports titles

    The visual graph got to be very complicated and cluttered, but here is a list of all systems with the count of US-released titles from out database:

    Here's one that includes all countries:

    Well i meant US Releases for the PS2, wow according to that list PS2 has almost reached 1,000 and is the PS1 still making games? Does that list include homebrews, demos, etc?

    Official US releases only, no demos or homebrews. If I'm not mistaken, the PSX is no longer having titles released. Maybe one more, but I don't think so.

    I'm not sure anybody will touch that PS1 total. I just don't see the PS2 hanging on as long after it's 'death' as the PS1 has, and I don't see anybody else coming even *close* to Sony's totals for a *long* time (if ever).

    (And yes, I'm talking solely about North American releases because I personally don't much care about imports so the total number of games somewhere else isn't as interesting).

    The numbers in the reports I posted above do not include homebrews but they do include demo discs. I don't have any demo information for the PS2 yet though, so the 900+ US library is pretty much all games at the moment.

    ever think about popping that system totals sheet into the back of the DP guides? thats a cool list, and would only take about half a page for each book. i know the totals are listed at the end of each section(in the advance guide and i assume in DP guide 8), but the list is interesting...

    i printed it off, so itll be in my guide anyways!

    The last North American and Europe PS1 release was EA Sports FIFA 2005, released in October 2004.

    There are still a few ones coming out in Japan but they are re-releases, not really new games.

    I've been keeping on top of it. Other sites list games that aren't out yet. Our database puts them in the Rumor Mill (if at all). The DP list is accurate.

    and 17 virtual boy games? even with demos i only get 16 us releases...(14 per rarity guide)
    Are you including the Red Alarm and Wario Land "not for resale" democarts and the Virtual Boy Technical Demo? The count in that report includes them (on the online database, select "non-games" as well as "US games".

    Honestly, I'm really quite surprised the N-Gage is still alive and kicking (even if it's not kicking very hard).
