The average gamer in 2010 spent 13 hours per week on gaming.
I find it very hard to believe this guy bought up a world record number of games and spends less time actually playing them than the average gamer.
That’s why I bumped up his average. He says he only plays about 3 hours a week, but would be his current average, not his average over the course of a lifetime.
It says he “estimates the collection is worth $700,000 to $800,000”.
I find that hard to believe as well. If he chooses to sell, are people going to spend an average of $70 per game for games from the 80s?
Usually old video games go dirt cheap - which is how he admits he bought them to begin with.
If the average game spends 13 hours per week he can probably finish 1 game every 3 weeks - 17 games per year.
Which comes out to just over 500 games in 30 years.
