According to an article from Tim Magazine entitled, "Video Games: Still Booming in a Bad Economy", explains how this industry is doing so well with the economies current state. The article mentions a 20% increase in sales for Microsoft and Nintendo selling 2 million Wii's and 1.5 million DS's. The article explains that video games provide a sense of escape and is can be cheaper in the long run then other sources of entertainment.
I would have to agree although I do not play a lot of video games, even my parents had bought Nintendo system for my little brother. I feel in the long run you can get more out of a home entertainment system as opposed to bowling every week or going to see a movie. Also with the current popular games that require a vast amount of your time it requires you to forget and let go of the real world.

Tim Magazine? Do you refer here to "Time", or is there literally a "Tim" out there?
ReplyDeleteIn terms of an argument, are you suggesting consumers SHOULD purchase home entertainment so as to save money? Or that home entertainment IS the best option, financially?
Topic is clear, but the nature of the argument behind isn't.
