Examples?

@ TDIrunner.
ALL of it, as long as it's hashes/crc32's are aligned to known retail db's.
truth be told, it's the recorded ACCURATE results i count. (ripped xenoblade chronicles correctly and uploaded it, nearly fucked my BW doing it, at least the users appreciate my efforts.)
actual shelf fillers for a preliminary count, a mere formality, and the real count begins at EACH dump added and catalogued. (from my retails.)
i can't count how many games a i have as data from my own disks, i haven't even started on outside sources yet, and they WILL be tallied up into the total when i get around to it.\
scored sin and punishment, guilty gear XX, and trauma center-second opinion, gonna have to biz em, and share. :P

I don't count:
Duplicates
Digital
Demo's
Built in games
DLC if it's digital
I do count:
Alternates/Variants (this includes duplicates with alternate packaging/labeling)
Multicart but they only equal one game.
e-Reader cards
DLC if it was sold on disc in separate packaging

I almost forgot about e-Reader.
I count e-Reader games, but not e-Reader add-on content. So I count each 5 card set of the original NES games as one game each, but I do not count any of the Super Mario Advance 4 e-Reader cards as a game since it was all basically DLC for that game. I also don't count any of the animal Crossing e-Reader cards as games since they were also basically DLC.

Here are my rules:
I don't count doubles or duplicates.
However, I do include variants.
I don't count digital download games.
I don't count downloaded ROMs or ISOs.
I don't count built in games (like Snail Maze on SMS or the 25 20 built in games on the Neo Geo X)
I don't count demos.
If two or more games were released on one disc or cart, I count that as ONE game.

I am right with these two posts. Also I am all for a new thread. But lets ether the mods or as a community come up with some good ground rules.
