That might be about right in my case :)

Sole people must be spending a hell of a lot more than that as I didn't come close to that figure.

Me neither - I think I purchased 3 games last year - probably because most of the games for the PC have been ported over from a console and so both the controls and graphics are poor by comparison.

If that's per person, it's a helluva lot IMO.

Per household... quite possible - my kids probably spent around £150-£200 last year on games from xmas and b-day monies (it doesn't take much when console games are £35-£40), and I bought a few for the PC.

I bought/preordered: skyrim, arkham city collectors edition, modern warfare 3 incl DLC. I just don't have the time to spend playing games.

I bought more games than ever before in 2011. Skyrim in it's full packaging, and a couple of bargin collections off Steam. Must have been about £50 at least!
