Forums - Gaming - What would constitute a new video game crash?

There are some things that seem similar to the crash of 1983. Now I doubt it will happen, but what would lead us to it? One of the the reasons it happened in 1983 was a large number of consoles in the market. I don't see that now, as three established companies are firmly in place right now. If Apple jumps in however, that may be one too many. Another reason for the crash was a large number of extremely low quality games. We are getting knocked over the head with more crap titles than I can remember in a long time. The thing that we were not involved in at the time, was as bad of a recession as we are in now. Also, production costs are so high on games these days, that a lot of companies can't keep up. Again, I don't see it happening, with better established companies at the helm now than in the past. However, those who never learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

We'd need alot more companies making consoles to cause that.
