The decline of Video Gaming in 3rd world countries....

Video Games has been and will always be a great form of entertainment. It has been on the mainstream since the 90's. But this time around, it has come down to a stage where the penetration of video gaming to the masses has stopped to the point of being played only by the rich and for fully developed countries.

Let us take a look at how gaming is played by casual gamers all over the world. Piracy is one of the aspects that boosts game popularity and the likes, it has been a catalyst for making it known for many people. These days, urbanized or not, everybody pirates games, everybody.... did i leave everybody out? I really mean everybody.

But the topic is on the decline of video gaming and not into piracy. Video Gaming has declined after the era of the PS1. The introduction of the PS2 marked the new age of gaming which most mark it as the decline of gaming. It is not on the quality of the games that has effect upon, it is all about the price of the console.


 On a side note, Sega and Nintendo's consoles have no impact on the worldwide gaming, they are only for developed countries that play them, not onto the poor.

Consoles are overpriced at its launch stage and made it suitable for the suckers patrons that buy them, or shall we say hardcore gamers. Third world country gamers only salivate and envy privileged gamers that already have the PS2 then.

Let us not talk about the price of the games as most will know these days, you can afford a new console for just buying 5 games. The days when the PSX was in its peak, the games are all bootlegged and sells less than a dollar in most parts of the world.

Games can also be copied but the price of the console is too high for most gamers. It has only been on the 2005 that the PS2 was priced for the masses again, hence making it open for poor gamers. But the trouble is, the games are all outdated and overshadowed by new ones from the next generation of consoles, yet the cycle continues.
