Bonus Round: State of the Industry

[Thespis721]

I think what REALLY this whole thing comes down to is that the video game industry thought it was invincible to a WORLD WIDE ECONOMIC RECESSION/DEPRESSION.

All they are saying is that they didn't sell to meet their "expectations". How they come about those "expectations" is beyond me but I'm sure whatever they are, they assume they are going to do BETTER then the previous year regardless of analysis.

But especially since Nintendo wasn't mentioned, these are premium games at a luxury price. When 2 out of every 10 Americans is out of work, you can't expect to have as much selling. Everyone is saving up for MW2.
