@vGInfidel, I do not believe if we see a recession this year in the U.S. market or in other global markets that we will see negative growth in the videogame industry because of the fact that the industry is growing at a quicker pace than consumer spending is going down and because the core of the industry is centralized around hardcore gamers that will still continue to buy videogame products because they are hardcore gamers. Also, though the Wii has less hardcore gamers than the 360 or PS3, the Wii does have the incredible demand, hype factor, and the lower price point to keep its sells up on both the hardware and software sides.
