And obviously video games are not down, so in case you were curious of the definition of "recession proof"

 

 

 

One of the main reasons why Video games sell so well during hard times is the lasting appeal, or ones money's worth.

Instead of buying Movie tickets for the family in excess of say $35.99: 4 people + Drinks + Popcorn etc etc.. or going out to other places that cost money for just a few hours.

People would rather buy a video game that they can play with the family at home for hours on end.
