i wouldnt doubt it. its because people illegally hack the systems and download the games for free rather than buying them. so then the company slowly loses money. and its mainly happening to nintendo(the wii and ds) and sony(ps3 and psp) because either there nice and give the people room to update and they take advantage of it(sony) or they just troll the company(nintendo). the next crash will happen when:

A. people get the master key for the xbox and start hacking the f***ing things

B. when sony and nintendo stop sending products to America because of the hacking causing sales to drop.

but if it happens another way then the only surviving system will be xbox because the master key for the xbox is harder to get then action comics #1 mint

Call of duty brings in a nice sum of people who play it but not enough to keep the game market from crashing..

Won't happen. Games make more than theater gross worldwide.

As for the Law Suit, Hahaha what a joke.
We pay nothing for PSN, it can be down for as long as it wants and you will get nothing in return. PSN+ users, sorry but it's stated that you will recieve nothing for this event. You are not affected either + users, you can download all you want after it's back up, nothing of value was lost.
For those that got their credit card information robbed out of luck also, it's the hackers fault, Sony will repay if proof that someone identity theft you due to the event and spent money, if they're feeling generous.

Anyone who supports the Law Suit is an idiot, you should know that even if victory is won, guess what? you receive 20 dollars while the Lawyers and starters/representor "fighting" for all those PSN users, walk away with millions. It's just a way to get rich quick, they could care less about you.
No Gaming will not go down.

Btw xbox Ftw, "Live down? Wtf I pay for this shit, I'm gonna suee cause I can unlike those PSN guys."

some of the electronic stores like Best Buy allready crashing, so basically they went into this plan as if you buy a TV you can return it for a new one (updated version) Target is crashing, and mainly all the electronic stores. Due to the economic inflation, people doesn't have money for these "secondary needs".

I like the Replys that are coming in xd keep em coming

I doubt it will go down, and the second Game Market Crash was totally different, it was due to bad games. Nowadays, not all games are great, but the constant evolution and change in the gaming world makes it that people want to keep playing. I don't think games are as accessible to download as movies or so.
