@Mendicate Bias - That depends on how severe you think this economic slump really is. The desperate bail out for Wall Street and the effect it may have in stimulating a productive economy has been pretty big news--it even managed to take away some of the focus on Palin lol. I don't think the video game industry will remain as healthy as it has in previous recessions. On the other hand, xman may be right; people may be so starved for entertainment as a result of less vacations etc. that they'll buy more video games to make up for it. Imo, I think it'll hurt the industry a little if this recession keeps worsening.
