Honestly, video games aren't even close to recession-proof.
Sure, sales are up, but that's mainly due to Nintendo expanding the market and what not.
Looking at all the layoffs with game companies, it's pretty obvious that video games, like basically everything else, are affected by the economy.
# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):
360: 241 DS: 144
PS3: 152 PSP: 126
Wii: 85
