<<<Maybe, but in economically depressed times, emotionally depressed people may find diversions like games appealing -- especially since (unlike videos) they can be played multiple time and provide a different experience for each.>>>

You're absolutely correct. That is why I didn't post a determination one way or another. The last small recession that we had proved your theory to be somewhat correct. The movie industry didn't see much of a slump. However, high ticket entertainment such as Disneyland did see a bit of a loosening in sales. But as you said, games are a relatively inexpensive avenue for hours of entertainment and thus probably wouldn't be hit that hard.
