I like the Spyro games a lot so I hope that sales of those games rise so they'll make more.

I know for a fact there are less people going to shows because of the quality content, and more people are staying home.  Not sure about video games, some are still participating.    California is in dissaray, and going bankrupt, because of the Democratic legislature. Arnold announced this yesterday.  All the left-wing Hollywood cronies live out there too.  It is the first State God is going after because of their policies, especially on abortion and the judges trying to institute Gay marriage.

Michigan is another state where Detroit is becoming a ghost town.  The Libs are in a deep mess, this country has never seen this kind of financial armegeddon.

Im sure people are STILL playing... they just not playing as much new stuff

Maybe they have outpriced themselves.  I know I really think twice  about buying my daughter new games.  I have to work pretty hard to earn the price of one new game.   
People have to worry about paying for necessities, at this point in time.
You know video game vs. rent, food and gas.  I think video game loses out in that instance.  There is just a lot less pocket cash around.

What's wrong with video games? I'm going to play Mario RPG when I get off work.
