I'm very familiar with the video game crash of 1983. How does that fit into your thesis? After that crash console gaming reinvented itself and came back stronger than ever. I don't see how the movie industry is in decline either unless you're talking about the artistic merits of the movies made in the 1940's compared to the movies made in the 1990's.


??? am i the only one that reads business news? I thought this was fairly well known knowledge around that the industries are on a decline. What is meant by on a decline is that these industries are no longer seeing much in the way of growth, and in the case of the Music industry, is actually losing sales or the amount of money they make each year. Ever wonder why movie tickets are so damn high and always keep going up? its not just cuz of inflation. DVD sales are also starting to slow in the past few years, hence the push for Blu Ray and High Def; its an attempt to start making growth in sales again.


 I don't care if they make less money, or in the case of movies, revenue growth is declining. They've been making less films for quite a long time. I believe the popular consensus is that movies got too expensive to make so fewer were made. Do you think that has been what's happening to the video game industry?
