Could you elaborate? I'm not certain I understand your suggestion.
Oop, sorry.

Right now Survey is which system do you have the most games. A tease about percentage of games collected for a given system. A system such as Vectrex or Atari 5200 has far fewer games, would never make these charts.

Hmmmm...what we would need would be to get game lists from as many members as possible and then compare those lists against the total library for each system. Take the percentage and then we'd have an idea of which system is the most comprehensively collected per capita.

Now THAT would be a task.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

You don't think that would be unfair to systems with large selections(ps2), and overly accommodating to systems with small selections(32x).

Not if we treated everyone's gaming collections as one large community collection, ignored duplicates, and took it as a straight percentage of the individual platforms total library. It would be a completely neutral reading or, if anything, would help the systems with smaller libraries as they are the easiest to collect for comprehensively.

I think my Xbox1 and NGC collections are about the same size
not overly impressive size, but I've got a fair number of games

since no Xbox1 option available, I'll go with NGC
C-64 will never die
- only the players

PS2 is my favorite console and the one I have the most games for. It's sitting somewhere close to 300 titles now. I just can't get enough.

I actually own most games for the DS, so I didn't vote, but out of the listed consoles, I have the most Gamecube games.

Vote for gamecube. In the guidelines it's stated that modern consoles (PSP, DS, Wii, etc) are disqualified.
