Videogame Shares Falling, Weak Sales Data To Blame

Sales are usually flat in the third quarter anyways. Most of the time, the publishers try to push their AAA products out during the winter.

5 Stocks to Buy if Obama Wins

After reading all this, I have 3 points to make.

1. Some people had to much caffeine reading this article. I read this as a hypothetical scenario, alluding to what companies/stocks could benefit given what policies Obama said he would pursue.

2. Another interesting point, hidden within the confines of Ha!'s message, is that individuals should conduct thorough research on a company before investing in them, rather than relying on hearsay.

3. As for Dem this or Gop that, seriously, what politician actually does everything they say they are going to do :) ? My view is this; Whatever policies they choose, no matter how far out, will get watered down to the point where the politician can get enough support for it. Right or left doesn't really matter, its a battle for the middle ground. Whoever manages to get closest without going over, wins.

Gaming the Recession

One thing left out by the author is the investment required in order to play video games, the hardware. In order to enjoy those best "bang for your buck" console games, you have to go out and buy a Xbox ($199), Wii ($250), or a PS3 ($399). I could also add in the cost for purchasing a regular TV or an HDTV.

As for a PC, if its a new game it will probably require you to have a computer that isn't 4 years old. That could cost an individual around $800 to play any new game.

On the whole though, I agree that video games do provide a cheaper alternative to most forms of entertainment after the initial investments have been made.
