There's likely a lot of "shovelware" in that figure, which doesn't mean it shouldn't be preserved but that could be 1 reason the percentage is so high. There were a ton of DS and Wii games nobody would recognize today
Sure, but one person's shovelware is another person's cherished childhood. We should preserve what's been created as much as reasonably possible, simply for the record.
