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.
