IMHO I think the number of hard-core gamers is grossly over estimated.
A few friends and I probably own all the 360 so called "hard-core" games out there but that doesn't mean that we are hard-core gamers. How many others out there are the same?
My point is although I purchase all the "must have" 360 blockbusters within a couple days of release, when my pocket begins to feel the pinch of this recession buying new games will not be high on my priority list.

If this recession gets any deeper at some point I guess the price of games will too come down.
Who will this hurt most? HD consoles of course. PS3/360 with wii looking games to keep down the cost of developement (exaggerated but you get the picture).
PS: Is hard-core gaming an addiction -like crack? No matter what these gamers must have their fix.
Will they spend money on a game rather than food to stay alive?
