Fox News: Guitar Hero Projected Profits Proof of an Improving Economy?

It’s always nice to hear mainstream media reference the video game industry positively, but Fox News took it a step further when Alexis Glick affectionately cited Guitar Hero’s projected profits as proof of an economically healthy holiday buying season. Click through for the video.
Earlier in the segment, Glick was discussing how the coming drop in gas prices may make people feel better about the state of the economy and more willing to spend on holiday gifts like Guitar Hero, which would help produce the 40% increase Activision Blizzard is predicting over the game’s previous year end sales.
Regardless of whether Guitar Hero pulls in that much paper (1.4 billion! omg), it feels good to see an industry expert using an example from the gaming industry as evidence of why we can still have hope for our economy.
