At what point does buying games become an issue?

I have been doing a lot of thinking and I just can't help but buy crap I'll never play. Even worse I'll have thousands of options then play crap like Barbie Pupph Rescue. I have thousands more on consoles and some games I end up with like 5 copies. It makes no sense.

Do I have a problem?

Like I see a game for a dollar or a bundle and I just buy it even if it looks dumb. I don't even have them cataloged at this point so I end up buying duplicates because I don't even know what I own at this point. I have like 4 Vitas and licenses only to to 3 so that makes no sense either

Well, even if you don't think you have a problem, you're basically wasting money.
And it does sound like you get tricked into impulse buying a bit too easily. Especially since you mention you have a lot of duplicates and stuff.

If you want to control your spending better, see if you can catch yourself thinking "This is a great deal!".
If you do catch yourself thinking that ask yourself "But don't I already own this ?" and "But would I actually play this ?".

Gaining self-control usually starts by second-guessing your bad habits.
