Forums - Gaming - What games can you see suffering with the economy?

I think that the slowing ecconomy will have a disproportionately small impact on the videogame industry as compared to other industries ...

For the most part, videogames are not a major expense in most people's lives and (therefore) are probably not going to be the focus on people's budgeting and (on top of that) a large portion of videogame purchases are made as gifts and a $60 (or even $200) gift isn't that large in the grand scheme of things.

Besides Rock Band and Guitar Hero, as the OP mentioned, I think that people will start to think a bit more about the quality of what they are spending money on.
So I think that games which wouldn't recieve recommendations from, say a GameSpot employee, will sell less than they would otherwise.
