Definitely.
Recently, the economy here in CA has been terrible, and to top it off, the prices are sky high.
Yesterday I saw a site of some anime store in Philadelphia and they had Bubblegum Crisis [the boxset] for 70$. That price is more than reasonable. However, here they're selling it for 100$.

The prices here seem to be higher than on some other states, and as of recently, it's been worse.

Like Hylas said, many people prefer to d/l anime or buy bootlegs or VDCs because some titles are just way too expensive. If prices were lower and more reasonable, then I'm sure that many of those people would buy them instead of just downloading them and stuff. I know I'd buy more for sure... but because prices are hefty, I can't. I mean, a regular boxset is about 150$ +. That just kinda leaves you fried.

And then there are those anime fans who are younger... I know from experience that parents don't just dish out 200$ so you can buy Trigun !

Bah.
