But note that those are all the cheapest gaming items. I think that part of the reason allthose things are doing so well is price, as peoplehave mentioned. And we're going to see that gap widen if the economy continues to slide. Big hype items will sell - like GTA - but the middle of the pack titles andthe higher price consoles will not sell as well as they might have otherwise. Both PS3 and 360 are selling more than they did last year in U.S. But who knows what those numbers would be like if the average U.S. household had more spending money.
The games industry will do well, because entertainment usually survives fairly well, but think of whatthe numbers COULD be....
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
