The U.S. recession (or near recession, depnding on who you talk to) is starting to slow growth in lots of areas of the economy. So far, games has not been hurt (though the numbers could be even bigger if the money was flowing).
Question of the week then:
How bad does the economy have to be before we see slowdown in the sales of consoles? Software? Or can nothing stop the gaming train right now? And is any one area of gaming/console/etc. going to be a winner or loser because of the slumping economy?
I know personally my gaming spending has been way lower this year than last because of things like gas prices and grocery prices eating up my extra cash. I've bought only 2 games and pretty much no DLC since the holidays, whereas last year I'd probable bought 3 or 4 times as much.
Any thoughts?
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
