I agree Avinash, entirely expected but shouldn't be as bad as they make it sound.

As for the economy, A) it's not that bad but I'll spare Avinash and myself the time and won't insist on that point , and B) it has very little to do with video game spending. For example, the Japanese economy was in worse shape from 1995-2000 than 2000-2005 yet the video game industry in Japan was better in the late 90's than the early 00's. I don't have hard numbers but I don't believe the US video game industry was too badly affected by either the 1992 or 2001 recessions either.
