I dont think anyone will notice the effects of a recession via game sales, unless its a very big recession it only hits a certain small % of the population in a meaningful way, in other words the majority of people still have plenty of cash, you might see a small % of people buying less games but as big hit titles affect game and console sales a lot more then a few % you will barely notice the difference if at all.
Even if people cant depend on their house value they usualy still have a job so those people are still likely to buy their entertainment, its only the people who loose their jobs or who were already pinching for pennies before that would be less likely to buy video games.
