Sales from all three of the home console dropped almost equally - by 22 per cent for Xbox 360, 23 per cent for Wii and 21 per cent for PlayStation 3. Sales of PlayStation 2 games were also, inevitably, down on the previous year with a 75 per cent drop in revenue from the console, but still generated sales worth $44m.
On the handhelds, the DS saw the biggest decrease in revenue - almost half that of the previous year - from $118m to $63m. PSP software sales were down 17 per cent to $30m.
