Effect of the oil crisis on gaming, console sales?

[mr_gappy]

i dont see this being a huge problem on video game sales, yes prices may see a small hike or not drop as fast but nothing to effect the sales of people and this is largely because kids love games and so do core gamers so a core gamer would rather by a new game than see a movie or buy new clothes etc, and parents will buy kids games because its what they prefer, however it may have an effect on older players in their early 20's since they dont have lots of money to spend and increases in fuel and food bills will decrease the amount to spend on luxury items like games, personally i dont think parents or core gamers will stop buying games, but there is enough oil to last a lot longer than the media is making out, scientists say in the north sea there is just as much oil left in the north sea as they have taken out in the past 50 years its just harder to to get to, but with all the advancements in drililing technologies its possible to get there

in my personal opinion this is media driven scare and a poltical one that to encourage green fuels and green energy
