Yup. I think it's generally an entertainment backlog ... people are in effect saturated by entertainment options these days. A tablet, smartphone, Netflix, their PVR + hundreds of cable/satelite channels, Youtube, social networking sites, dozens of eBooks, video games, smartphone games for $1, new blockbuster movies opening every weekend, etc. etc.
There's too much for people to watch, read, listen to, play, etc. and they don't have enough time. Traditional video games that require 15-60 hours of a person's time and go for $50-$60 a pop are going to the be hit hard I think.
