For video games alone, a lifetime. I have essentially complete ROM sets for everything through sixth generation consoles, and a wide variety of newer stuff (a full Wii set minus the obvious shovelware, a selection of the better PS3/Xbox 360 exclusives).
For movies, not quite as much. I'm mainly an emulation hoarder (who had to buy a bigger NAS because my ROMs were crowding out my family's music and video files), but we have 10-15TB of movies, TV and music laying around.
Is your collection pretty high res? I've got a decent collection but try to keep to 480p so I can have more shows and games on standby
I'm not so picky - my movies are generally 720p or 1080p (I use 1080p x265 for things I rip myself), and my music is a combination of (mostly 320kbps) MP3 and FLAC.
I ended up building a new NAS (35TB current, 100TB eventual capacity) to replace my old 12TB unit, specifically because I wanted to start grabbing more 7th gen console stuff, and to start ripping/downloading more movies (specifically because streaming services are becoming a clusterfuck, where you never know which service - if any - will have the movies or shows you want on any given day).
