Could casual be the first gaming victim of credit crisis?

“We are not sure how the recession will affect the buying habits of these new, more casual mainstream consumers,” Screen Digest’s Piers Harding-Rolls told The Guardian. “These consumers are more likely to view gaming as a discretionary luxury.”

Games Investor Consulting’s Nick Gibson added: “As the market has become more casual-gamer focused, then it will be more susceptible to the economic rhythm. I would say that Nintendo therefore would be the most susceptible.”
