Can you clear your console backlog before the end of 2020?

Nope, had to stop Odyssey for RDR2, had to stop RDR O for Oddysey, had to stop Odyssey for Warframe Fortuna, will probably stop warframe for WoW
Nope and I don't really have any intention to.
I've just succumbed to the idea that I'll play stuff when I get around to it. It actually prevents me from buying stuff just to have it because it's the next big thing. The longer I get to savor the stuff I picked up this year: Smash, RDR2, AC Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, Danganronpa, every single KH game except 3, etc., the less I feel like I need to drop $60 on anything new next year.
Once I start playing "catch up" with games just to get through them, I stop having fun with them.

Been clearing out my back log down to:
Half of Spider man
Walking dead last season
Life is strange 2
Latest tomb raider
Most of Red Dead (gonna be hard because I don't like it lol)
Trying to hold off on buying anything else till I get caught up but I do have Anthem purcashed.

Not at all. It's over 500 titles strong and I am a single parent of a toddler who goes to university full time. I'm going to try to cut back on purchases (saving for a house) so hopefully I can get the good titles done..
What counts exactly? I give up on games a lot faster these days. A decade ago I had a backlog of like 250 games and halfway through I realized there was no point forcing myself to finish dozens of RPGs I wasn't into.
Since then I've played so many thousands more, and if every game had to be beaten it'd take like a hundred people multiple years lol
As far as my current backlog goes in terms of games I either haven't played yet or definitely intend to finish, I could clear the 30 or so games (many are shorter PSVR games) in about two months if I didn't start anything else.

Same for me, here. I do have a PS4 and several games on the way soon, though, so that may change and then backlogs everywhere!
.
I could play the games I currently own for the rest of my life and never complete them.
Not a chance in hell. Had to put gaming on hold for a bit while a worked on by book backlog. Now that's gone down I'll go back to my game backlog. Need to make a dent before RE2 hits in Jan.
Yes, I have only about 15 "modern" console games. If I add in my old ps1, n64, ps2 games. Nope.
My only issue would be I need to buy another Pro since I gave mine away.

I will never clear it, literally impossible time wise unless I spend every waking hour on the mish, even then, I'd only clear 1/5 of it by 2020.
I'm including my PC backlog in here too.

I definitely can. I went through a bunch of games this year. Throughout my usage of the backloggery website, I checkmarked 390+ games. To be honest though I use that site differently and not technically as a backlog list. Some games I don't own yet and are on a bucket list. I resorted to dropping some(which don't count to my total) or watching lets plays to get the gist of things like story, gameplay, encounters.
On PS4? Eh, I think I could. I was going to actually be a smart cookie and make a spreadsheet of all the games I've beaten and what I haven't so I can kinda get on it. I hope Sony makes PS5 BC with the PS4 digital library because if not, I'm going to be highly upset.
Hahahahaha, impossible. I'll be long dead before that ever happens. My children will have to take over the task and fail as I have.
considering i have almost 100 games in my backlog and that theres over 10 confirmed 2019 games that are easily day 1 buys for me, not even close
Which console? Xbox One for sure if we don't count Game Pass as that's the least used out of the three current platforms as I only buy its exclusives. Switch, possibly but part of that backlog is Xenoblade, Octopath Traveller and the Zelda expansion. PS4? Not a chance, I still have the GOTY edition of Witcher 3 and a couple of other meaty RPG's sitting mocking me.
I really need to learn that if a game was going super cheap in a sale once, it will do so again in the future.

If I made money playing games and could basically have it replace my job sure I could do it. The way it stands now I can't even finish 5 games by 2020.
