So across the 3 consoles, ~3,100 hours... over 8 hours a day with no days off (and the year isn't even over).
Mate, that is genuinely cooked.

Each to their own but man that would do my head in my eyes would be cooked and my head feeling like its exploding.
And you haven't even seen my Steam stats
I should also remind you that the Xbox and Playstation game counters are not always 100% accurate. They can be VERY wrong. As an example - I recently started playing Alien Dark Descent on Playstation with it being a PS+ free title..... have put in 5 LEGITIMATE hours of game time..... The game time played counter on the console reads 59 hours. But sure I "play" games 24/7.
I've given a run down of my "free time" in the past (5-6-7:30am - then 6/7pm - 11pm). I know for a fact that I do not game for 8 hours a day EVERY day. I've also laid out what I can and do do from time to time, I can run the Xbox, Playstation, PC/Gaming Laptop and Switch at the same time - BUT not actually be playing them. Whether I'm running sports/fighting game simulations and checking results etc. - https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/what-are-you-currently-playing.1059348/page-254#post-86298607 multi tasking the same game
In any case cry me a river
There are worse problems in the world
Not trying to be overly judgemental on what someone does with their time, but I can't even imagine hitting those hours if I had an unlimited amount of money and no job/wife/children/responsibilities. I literally don't even work or sleep those many hours in a year, nor would most people!
Even in my carefree uni days I wouldn't have come close to those kinds of numbers.
I just purchased the PS5 version of Robocop - now own it across Xbox, PC and PS5....................... 3 copies of the same game purchased UNDER the original RRP of a single copy #winning
Also it might shock you to know that I've added another hour of game time on WWE 2K24 - by simulating a royal rumble match while I was outside gardening....... SHOCK HORROR
The same reason why I run simulated sports games on console and pc (often at the same time), for fun
Its very easy to multi task and physically do other things while a game is running
You do you of course, but you could have bought three different games instead
Correct different strokes for different folks.
Logically yes I could just replay it over and over and over on the same platform originally purchased on. However playing it on a different platform is an entirely new experience for myself and one key reason why I like to do it.
I don't even buy as many games as I used to - the early 2000's - 2012ish was when I was at my worst (or best). If I didn't have the clean outs I used to have, I'd easily have collected 600+ physical Xbox 360 games (as an example). Similar to my dvd buying ways, I'd walk into a store.... and walk out with at least 1 (but commonly several) new titles.
How do you have so much time is my question.
I gave an outline of my potential gaming window time frame (that I don't take advantage of all of the time).
6am-8am (sometimes 5 if I can't sleep)
6pm-11pm (sometimes midnight)
11pm-5/6am = sleep time
8am-6pm = work time frame
It's not that hard.
Right now there's a movie on while I am running an AFL 23 simulation match on the ps5 AND I'm waiting for the next tournament match to start in Rocket League on pc.

Just picturing trying to look at the screen and even simming matches I’d be so sick of any form of game playing that much time on them?
I know everyone’s different but I think if I spent even half that time on gaming in a whole year alone it would do my head in to the point of not being able to play them ever again.
I’m not judging you as I said everyone is different and there’s nothing wrong with that I just find it fascinating you can have the willingness to keep it up.
