Books, Videogames, Television, Movies and Music are (generally) pretty recession proof because people need entertainment and these are relatively inexpensive forms of entertainment. For $2500 per year the average household can (easily) cover all of there expenses from these forms of entertainment, whereas an individual can burn through this money in a couple months if they go out alot, and a family can spend that much in one week on a vacation.
