I knew this reaction was coming but you gotta take into account that May is usually a slow month and the boost from last year coming from the pandemic years was gonna effect the decrease we see now. Not only that but scarcity of hardware doesn't help either.

It was unrealistic to think we would continuously see an increase from the market after outlying years of growth.

You would expect continued growth with the new generation of consoles. Video game spending should not be down 19% YoY now that more people have access to these new consoles. Since Sub sales are increasing we see that more people have access, but they are choosing to spend their money in other ways.
