Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models
I think we’re highly unlikely to see a repeat of the 1983 gaming crash
What happened in 1983?
Home video game sales peaked at $3.2 billion then fell to $100 million, a drop of nearly 97%. This collapse, largely blamed on Atari shoving out low quality games, lasted for 2 years until Nintendo released the NES in North America.
Wow 97% is a lot. Interesting info tho thanks
It wiped out everything State side. Thats why Nintendo was able to come in to begin with. Really interesting if you like gaming history. Its pretty much why 90s kids love Mario and didnt grow up playing something else.
