I'd say about one a month, and usually two/three during the big November/December flood of titles. So probably 12-15 a year.
 
That's full price, big ticket games. Smaller stuff ($15<) I buy as well, usually on Steam.

I like to think 10+, so I just went with 11-20. I guess I could have put "Too many to count", but that was only last year.

5 or less. Even if I have the money, my mom doesn't let me buy alot of games. She says they're mindless and unhealthy.

Just counted about 45 disc games, plus plenty of downloads. The key is buying older games when they become cheap and selling the new ones for almost as much as you payed, if not more.

This year has been bad for me so I didn't get to buy as many as I'd like to have.  Still I think I probably bought about 6.  I am only counting new box copies of games, I don't even keep track of DLC or XBLA games...

I am part of the "bargain" shopper group who rarely buys on release, and I average about 50 -80 games a year, with about 10-20% used and the rest new and other than DSiware, I never download.

It goes up every year, so it's tough to say. If my wish list is any comparison, it will be "too many to count" next year.

Hmmm I have about 150 360, PS3 and Wii games in the last 4 years so I'm guessing after counting tradeins about 45 per year ish. 
 
I would say only around 30 of those would be on week of launch purchases per year tho. 
 
Edit: are we counting Downloaded games? I didnt include any of those if so.

These days there are so many cheaper games, downloadable games and the such, I probably bought over 75 games this year...  I think this year got an atypical spike as I was buying some PC games I missed out on from 2005-2009...
 
edit - probably about ~30'ish disc games, not counting any downloadables, even games that are also on disk from Steam...

Too many to count. 
 
I'm one of those sucker's who can't pass up a really good steam sale. That Black friday full week steam sale was a sale for the rest of the world too. I bought a good few games from that. I've just bought Commandos 2 for £3.74. 
 
Now that is a pretty good game judging by the debut game of commados back in the day. Nostalgia baby!

Not counting downloaded games, I bought exactly 10.  With XBLA and Virtual Console games, I'd say 14 altogether?  Surprisingly I beat like 11 out of those 14 games.

It depends on a particular year and the releases in that year. I've had years where I bought a max of 5 and played 'old' games or games from the previous year that I never managed to play. I tend to play an MMO every now and then too which limits my purchases.
It averages around 6-10.
