Do you really think gaming became less popular in America this generation?

No, but it (it being console gaming) became more popular in Europe, which affects America's percentage.

 

Gaming being more popular in Europe doesn't explain the fact that you can find a Wii in many European countries without much difficulty but in America it is impossible to find a Wii sitting on the shelf.
