NPR reports that despite a faltering economy, games sales are still up tremendously (Original Article: In Tough Economic Times, Video Games Console). Not only are games 'economical' in their value, but they're also often just as good the second or third play through. There are only a handful of movies that I truly enjoy sitting through repetitively. The only part I don't agree on in this article is the statement on 'diversity'. I think games can be more diverse than some movies. No longer does market weakness affect solely one country and no where else would I ever find equal ground to discuss a hobby with people from around the world.
