no i can't see it impacting gaming much. gaming will surpass(if it hasn't already this year) movies as the # 1 form of entertainment.

It will hurt those of us who have to buy their own games and systems. Now I know this will really get some people upset, but here goes. Those kids out there that work and do buy their own games might cut back.
But, those that live off of mom and dads dime wont slow down at all. They will continue to expect the new games when they come out.
I had a pretty decent list of games I wanted, now I am down to maybe one or two. Of course my other hobbies cut into game playing, but I still will not be buying much of anything over the next year or two.

I would usually find a way every now and again to splurge on new titles, but with the current economic situation I restricted myself to one new title between now and Christmas.
Now if I wanna get something new I gotta go to either Platinum Hits titles or wait until a great game from 2007 drops into the $30 range.
