February 14, 2009: Economy And Gaming

Unless you've been under a rock the last few month, you've heard the wails of economic doom. (And if you have been under the rock, is there room for more? Seriously, it's scary out here!) Logically, gaming is a luxury item and therefore should suffer as families tighten their belts and spend only what is needed. Historically, however, our products have sold normally despite economic downturns.

So we ask: what will you be buying, gaming-wise in 2009? Actually, we have a couple more questions than that, but you get the theme. If you don't mind sharing your planned gaming purchases, we'd love to see your responses. And if we missed asking something you'd like to share with us, feel free to start a thread in our Game Business forum!
