(Fargo, ND) -- Video game sales are set to fall annually for the first time in years.
The global games and services market is forecast to fall one-point-two percent this year, to 188-billion dollars.
The COVID pandemic was great for the gaming industry's financial health. The sector grew 26-percent from 2019 to last year, with a big lift in 2020 as people spent much of their time indoors.
Analysts say the prospect of a recession is wearing on sales.
