If you want to believe the world economy is fine and bury your heads in the sand, that's fine with me. I'm not saying it's the end of the world by any means. I'd like nothing more than everything to be fine and video games to sell like crazy, in fact I'd make a lot of money if that happened. But I'm trying to be realistic about expectations and some people see that as doom and gloom.

 

 How so FishyJoe?

I don't think that it will hit europe in fact, we're doing pretty ok I think. Talking about japanese sales, they should do a whole new asian chartz instead of this one IMO, cause now talking about only 80k sold a week is a waste of time.

 

 which country are you from, because most of Europe really isnt doing ok. thats why youve had all these emergency plans and meetings. here in UK things arnt looking good. even though the banks have been prerforming ok trust as gone out the window. northern rock is gone, bradford and bingley are gone and HBOS is on deaths doorstep. Lloyd steped into to save them but now their shares have fallen as well. The government has stepped in and paid out £17 billion. they now have a stake in all major UK banks. the only ones doing ok are abbey (there spanish) and HSBC which is chinese. oh and local councils have proably lost millions by investing in Iceland whose econamy has gone down the drain, brilliant

anywho back to consoles i think things will be better next week. new model will push up PSP, LBP will push up PS3 and wii music/tenchu4 willpush up wii.

btw disaster reached 20k yayyyy:)

He is from Belgium same like me and Papflesje. The biggest problem we have now where I and papflesje live is that their is to much work (and that is also a problem in Holland).  For example in my city they can't fill 30.000 jobs and the biggest sectors are the Distribution/logistic/expedition..... That are sectors that will not feel it so much because the world demand for the things we ship/distribute are things that the world needs more and more.   The world may be in recession but is the demand of oil,steel, etc are going to decrease aswell? But yeah the financial sector like banks have a problem (like one bank stocks decreased 77% in one day) but that is just a small sector;

The financial sector is anything but small. Governments in EU and the US have issued rescue packages for trillions of dollars. That will have strong effects in other sectors.

Japan averaged 1.7% GDP growth during the 90's.  Not good, but not terrible either.

Yeah I live in Belgium. the main difference between belgium and the uk about this crisis is the euro. It makes us stronger that if we still were with the old belgian franc lol

360 numbers surprisingly good in japan.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
