U.S. spending on video game content, hardware and accessories fell 7% when compared to a year ago, to $5.9 billion. The decline was driven by a 24% drop in hardware spending and a 3% dip in content. (twitter.com)

This is a good example of why super broad statistics over short time frames are a really bad idea.

I can think of a million reasons as to why there might be more or less sales, to explain anything. As a result you can't really derive anything from this.

One of the big issues is they include mobile gaming spending in with other gaming spending. These are two very different groups of people with different levels of investment.
