You can't just look at revenue and say that a market is collapsing.

I could sell 10 pictures worth 3 million each over the year while someone sells 3 million pictures worth 20 cents each. Clearly neither market is collapsing or rising based on revenue or to be more overt; revenue can not indicate that a market is collapsing or rising.

You can look at a revenue and tell how much money that company was throwing around, and that's about it. Without understanding the costs of the different divisions revenue cannot be the ink to paint a good picture, even then the picture has less to do with market population and more to do with the companies health as to the investors share.

I am not looking at revenue in terms of companies profit.

I am looking at it in terms of consumer spending which is the main indicators economists have used for 100s of years to determine how a specific market evolves...............
