Does this include digital?

I don't know if we can say "FPS games are not doing so well" with only a small sampling of titles. What about Overwatch or Doom? I think it would be more accurate to say particular franchises aren't doing as well. It's become a more crowded market-place.

"with only a small sampling of titles"

Come on, I picked up the main 6 highest selling franchises of the last decade. Overwatch only has 1 title so we cannot call it a franchise yet. Same goes for Doom which saw a reboot in 2016 but did not release any new titles since 2005.

You said, "Overall we can say that FPS games are not doing so well."  If you meant "established franchises" instead of "games" then that's fine but I can only reply to the words you've chosen.  Those few franchises do not represent the entirely of the genre by any means.  

And what about Borderlands?  I know Borderlands 2 has sold over 12 million copies.
