When do we call it a crash?

It might even be a defined economic concept as well! (I didn't look it up but no one else did! HA!)

Good freaking grief. Is PlayStation, Nintendo or Steam in ANY discussion about going out of business? No.
Go touch grass and get in touch with reality.

Have any people here been through any "crash" or hardship? This ain't it at this time.

It wasn't a crash when Sega failed. It won't be when Xbox fails.
Ah, so that's why they are killing physical games.

Lol, not even close... It's called trimming the fat every industry does this, it's how corporate life is and why I choose to get my hands dirty and won't work in that field.
Reminds me of the ones that think every big storm or rain storm, or hurricane or tornado is some ominous thing... It's all nothing new. Life repeats itself endlessly.
Gamers are so sensitive to this stuff and the theatrics and drama, these people will all be fine... Every end is a new beginning. Sure if our favorite studio falls apart it sucks but we will continue to game and get great games.. Thats the honest truth. Were in a little release lull but once the new stuff starts dropping again we will be back rocking.
I absolutely have enough that could last me the rest of my life to play, gaming is fine but sure when they make shitty and mid games it's time to clean out

Either that, or they're already lost.Not yet, bro. Let them get even worse, and they will. The next generations, with all their restrictions, are going to destroy them.

Legit question.
Even though the market cap is huge today, when the crash happened in the 80s it wasn't entirely about money -- well it was for Atari, but there were a lot of small studios surviving. And the arcades were thriving.
However, it's is again a Western gaming slow crash going on right now. Nintendo and allied studios are doing extremely well.
GTA6 will either save the day for Games West or will be the final insult.

When revenues drop and there's no more profit happening. I know yall hate the truth, but if Playstation is having record profits and Nintendo is killing it and Steam is gaining more and more players, how can anybody call it a Video game crash?

Yeah, if we see gaming revenues drop by say 20-25% year over year then we can talk about crashes.

Probably not when the highest selling videogame of all time is 4 months away
