You make a good point. I know I can't remember the last time I finished a recent big console game but my reason is that many of them take so damn long to finish. According to http://howlongtobeat.com/ many of these games take hundreds of hours to complete. For example in 2004 Half-Life 2 took 19 hours to complete while the recent Witcher 3 takes 165. Skyrim takes 215 hours. I don't think there is anything that can hold my attention for 215 hours.

You don't have to count the hours, that's not the point. If you enjoy a game you don't want to finish it fast, you want to take it slow and enjoy every moment of it. I played a game for over 300 hours in more than a couple of years because it was a pleasant activity, not to beat it: I finished the main story at about 100 hours, there was nothing left to beat (open sandbox), but it was fun.
