It's a summary page for games bought/etc in my collection over the last few years. Particularly on the right side where it groups categories together by year.
You can ignore 2010. I'm pretty sure that was me adding my collection into the backloggery. From 2011 onwards however it's probably pretty accurate.
It seems the console market really is dying for me. Despite what the 2013 list shows, there's only 1 real game for it this year. That being Ni No Kuni. I got the 360 this year which had 2 games come free with it. Other games are cheap downloads for 40 dollars worth of prepaid cards on it and a few dirt cheap bargain bin games or liquidation sales. Last year I think it was just about nothing but those kinds of sales.
And honestly I can't think of any game in the pipe that I'd definitely want to buy. There have been a lot of games over the last couple of years that I would have normally bought last generation but was left at the store simply over my general DLC boycott. Yes, Ni No Kuni has DLC as well apparently - I should check to see what kind of crap they hacked out of it at some point. I'll leave a rant or review regarding that in a future post. Luckily it's been entertaining so far that I'm not too concerned about it. We'll see if that changes depending on what they've done for DLC.
