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 are indeed comparing franchises here, but your conclusion pertains to the entire genre. While some franchises are in decline, some are stable (CS has been pretty stable from entry to entry, showing modest growth), and new FPS's are doing well, like Overwatch, Doom and Destiny.
