So when you get a new machine, what amount of games does your honeymoon phase last? In the beginning almost all games are fun for a bit, but after a while they either earn their way into your collection or get moved on to the next person.
At what amount of plays does that usually occur for you?
I go real hard on games when I first get them - I'm the same way with new music. The first 3-4 weeks I'll play a ton of games then slowly gravitate back toward the rest of the collection. I still keep them around for awhile, though, with most lasting 6 months or longer.
The only thing I can say is that most games stick around longer than TS4. That game seems to have had a honeymoon day or two.
I have moved games I still enjoy and play. Once the family is no longer interested, I tend to move it along. Most last about 1 year maybe 2. Better to rotate out and get another in that they can enjoy. There is alot of pinball out there!
Quoted from TheLaw:Obviously depends on the machine
Tron only lasted a few months for me but I have had acdc premium for years

Never ends for me.

That happens to me too. They get used the most right away! For me it's right in that 200-300 play range where they either stay or go. Please vote in the poll and thanks for the answers.
The way I'm reading your question is at what point do I know if the game is a keeper. For me that's after a relatively small number of games. Voting 25-100.
