""at the same time people tend to spend more money on inexpensive entertainment (like videogames) and cut back on larger entertainment spending.""

==> video games are inexpensive entertainement ?

u mean compared to a car ? a house ?

so u expect video games sales to stay high ?

Most professional sporting events last 2 to 3 hours and charge $30 to $300 for a ticket, and refreshments will end up costing between $20 and $50 per person; and movies are $20 per person (all things considered) for about 2 hours of entertainment. In general it is quite difficult to find anything to do outside of the home that does not cost more than $10 per hour per person (and many will be in excess of $50 per hour per person). For the ammount of entertainment  you get videogames are fairly inexpensive; and they're really inexpensive if you stick to the greatest hits titles, used titles and rent games (becomming less expensive than cable TV).
