Most people aren't like people you know.
Indeed. Most of my friends have at most 2 consoles and they are generally only current ones. In fact I have some of my friend's older ones.

Due to years of Rock Band parties, a few of my friends have a 360, and a traveling 360. And to be perfectly honest, most of my friends think my collection is "cool" but also think of it as "a bunch of junk".

To answer the OP's question..well I can't, as it's a silly question. Video Games aren't for everyone.

I was just curious on the question. I see everyone at work buying and playing retro as well as current gen systems also everyone buys retro games at the video game store I go to and i see everyone's collection of what they own on racketboy so I thought a lot of people have more than just one system. Thats all.

Right, but we're a collection of... collectors here for the most part. Some are more modest than others, but we are here because we have older stuff and/or are looking to learn about more to obtain. It is like people watching Dallas and assuming everyone in Texas has horses and oil derricks in the back yard. Or going to a muscle car forum and assuming that everyone in the US must own a Mustang/Camaro/GTO/Corvette. All of the people I'm friends with on here have more than 2 systems including older ones. None of my other friends do.
