Show a % of How many Games of a Specific Console I own

I could see a problem like "repros" and "[cardbox version]" counting as a different game as the regular/original listed (for instance, the Genesis list has a bunch of regular AND cardboxed versions, with different pricing when loose -- which I believe it shouldn't, since the carts are the same once removed from its cover/box), and it counts as a separated game...

there's also "mega man wily wars [repro]" in that list, which would cause "US games" to be non-reliable, since it wasn't released in the US...

unless the developers link them as into a single game divided into 'categories'

Ahiru, I actually had my game collection on Game Value Now and it was just nice to see the actual percentage of what I owned. I believe they could make it without repros and games similar to that subject but I guess it's just a feature I miss because GameValueNow is pretty much Dead.

goguenator and ahiru - Thanks for your comments.  I like this idea. I'm waiting to see how popular it is with other users implementing.  If we did implement we would probably hard code the number of games released for a particular console NOT counting variants.  Then when calculating % ownership we would exclude variants too.  We could do the same with "special" games like Nintendo World Championships and games like that.

I was just about to suggest this idea as I use this site to keep track of my collection. I am currently going for a complete ps2 collection and it would be nice to know how many I have out of those listed. Even with variants etc. I would still appreciate not having to scan through the lengthy list and count how many I have versus how many are listed. I love this idea!

Any update onto if this is still happening?! Would love it to be in the works, Thanks!

Any update if this is still happening or going to be? Would love for it to be in the works of how much of a specific console I own. Thanks!

I plan to work on improvements to the collection tool this summer including some reporting ones.  This should be included in those.

that would be so awesome!

I'd love some feedback from users about this feature.  We have lots of variants for games, homebrew games, and hardware too.  

Should we show users a % of items they own of all items for a particular console?

Should we show users a % of items they own but exclude variants, homebrew, and hardware?

Or show something else?

I like the % of items of a specific console but also excluding variants, homebrew, etc. (Example: 296 N64 Games for the Entire North American Set)

I would like it to show the % without homebrew, variants, etc. Maybe the default could be to show the % with no homebrew, variants, etc. but you could checkmark for homebrews, variants, etc. and it would change to show that %. 

Thank you both for your feedback.  I'll look into implementing with the default being without homebrew/variants/etc and see how hard it would be to have a separate number so users could see both.

Having the collection percentage would be amazing! On that, being able to I suppose "define" a complete set in your own collection would be a plus. Some people dont do variants, dont do Limited Run games, etc... I know I would love to see some 100% bars next to full owned sets, and the ability to toggle on/off or define game variants in your collection would be great!

Is there an update on this?  This would be an amazing upgrade.

Still planning this.  Sorry that some other things have come up that prevented us from doing this.

So just wanted to give an update on this. I was trying to test it with my complete set of N64 Games which is 296 games and when I try to exclude variants it is including (Grey Cart) and (Not for Resale) Titles. Also when I do view them in the database instead of my personal collection it doesn't load up the full list so it says I own only own 38 Titles. Anyway to fix this issue or possibly add that number to our own collection list? Thanks for all the updates and making this a reality!

I'm looking into that and hopefully implementing a fix for the gray and not for resale showing up.  

In terms of the count being wrong vs your collection, can you please email me a screenshot of what you are seeing.  sales@vgpc.com  That will help me troubleshoot this.
