Discussing the Internet, blogging, and business.

The American economy is in stagnation, but you do not see that if you look at the video game industry. It has been estimated that sales of video game hardware grew around 20% from last year. This shows that sales of video games are not really dependent on other economic indicators. I believe that this is because games provide entertainment, and entertainment is one of the basic needs people have. For example, going to Disneyland for a few days and spending a few hundred dollars might sound fun to many people, but it is not as effective as spending a few hundred dollars on video games. That is because you could play video games for the whole year. I also believe that video games are slowly replacing TV shows, and that is a good thing in my opinion. Games require a lot more interaction and concentration compared to TV shows, which means that our brains are much more active when we play games. Games are going to continue to gain popularity, simply because they are quite inexpensive compared to other forms on entertainment. Games are also more and more entertaining each years, due to the progress in technology.
