You know the economy is seriously in the crapper when video game sales are the lowest they have been since October 2006. Thanks to TwistedAegis for the heads up on this one.
Market researcher NPD Group said Monday that U.S. retail revenue from game systems, software and accessories fell 14 percent in May to $743 million, the lowest monthly figure since October 2006. Hardware revenue fell 5 percent to $229 million, while game revenue fell 19 percent from a year earlier to $376 million.
