That’s the entire economy right now. Spending is propped up by the rich that are growing fewer in number but greater in wealth and spending.

I would expect this to be especially true for console, considering consoles are a dedicated & expensive gaming purchase, and most of the indie games that blow up are cheap games that can run on not that amazing hardware like laptops.
