This is directed at people who started playing games before the age of 10, and now are at least 18. Anyone can post, but I'd like input from people with at least 4 console gens under their belt (you don't actually have to own 4 generations of consoles)

I played a lot of games as a kid. Now in college I have more free time (CS majoring is easy at my school) but I play less games. Looking at the library of games I have (well my family has for the first few gens) the number seems to go down a lot with each generation.
I still play games a lot (Rock Band at least once a week for 4 hours with floor mates)
but I don't play a wide variety of games. Guitar Hero, Rock Band, SSBM.

I don't know if this is due to me not being able to afford a lot of new games, or me just not liking all the games that are coming out these days (how many FPS games do I need for the 360?)
Maybe it will get better in a year or so (I plan on getting a Wii down the road for gun-rail games, Galaxy, and TP)

So my questions:
Does it seem like you have fewer games than previous generations? (assuming you buy stuff)
Do you still play the same amount, but with the said limited selection? (if you do have the limited selection)
