Lately many people have been turning to video to help ease the stress of the fumbling economy, and it could actually be helping. A recent study by NPR has shown that video game sales are up an amazing 41% since the same time last year.
During the depression, many people turned to Shirley Temple movies that would help cheer them up; for only a nickel a piece, it didn't dent their savings. While video game sales are up, moving sales have been the same for about the a decade; people would rather play a 20 hour game compared to a two hour movie.
Even though video game sales are up, the companies who make them are still in the same boat as many other businesses trying to get through this recession. This may not be the absolute answer to this recession, but at least are trying to enjoy themselves in a time like this.
