Official R&D numbers are garbage and completely worthless to look at. All companies pump as much into this category as they can as various governments give all sorts of tax benefits/credits when something is listed as R&D. So you will see anything from regularly maintenance to game development to new console research in this category and regardless of whether it is a huge or quiet year for the company it will always be a huge category.
