Hasn't it been proven that recessions don't really impact entertainment sectors like gaming or movies?

2008-2010 was one of the strongest periods for console gaming.

XSX and PS5 will be fine, same with the Switch going forward. Although 2020 really does feel like the peak year. Hard to follow up to Animal Crossing, unless they have a Mario Kart 9 up their sleeves.

Yup a good example is Avatar releasing in late 2009 and going on to become the highest grossing movie until the release Avengers Endgame and The Dark Knight releasing in 2008 manage to make a billion back when that is pretty rare to happen in the Box office. 

This time around though the movie industry isn't doing so good. Last weekend's total box office was $5,245.
