"To my shock, not only were the fruit colored iPods not rotting on the shelf, but the stores were jam packed. At Best Buy, consumers were picking up game consoles (Xbox and PS3), DVDs, HDTVs, etc. I still have yet to find a store with any inventory of Nintendo Wii. The booths to fill out an application for a Best Buy credit card were full! The interest-free credit on HDTVs and other goods combined with decreasing prices has clearly motivated buyers. Even Circuit City. . . was busy."

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
People tend to buy things of entertainment value when things are in the dumps. Videogaming has more entertainment value than movies. 2hrs vs 6-300+ hours.
Oh I'm sure they (The video game consoles) could help especially with the recent 360 price cut dipping below the Wii's price line. Factor in the Wii momentum as it is still going strong (At least in my neck of the woods). Let us not forget that the PS3 is getting a new system just as well and with Blu-Ray becoming a bit more abundant.
Not to forget that some just may very well buy HDTVs to go along with their console of choice. Overall I think gaming is probably helping the economy a bit more than our politicians are doing at the moment.
the report from Best Buy stating that sales walked off a cliff in October. Media is resistant to slowing economy, but not immune. We are guaranteed media price reductions next year.
