Recession to hit Wii gamers harder?

Analysts from OTX and simExchange have put forth their opinions on the current recession, and how it affects the video game industry, saying Wii owners are likely to be hit harder.

Nick Williams from OTX said that the industry "has shown remarkable resiliency to the economic downturn in recent months. However, it would be presumptuous to say that any entertainment industry is 100% recession-proof." He then said that the industry doesn't look like slowing down for the next month or two, commenting that "Thanks in large part to Nintendo's ambitious mass-market strategy, the traditional gamer boundaries have officially been broken."
