Hardware was the hardest-hit segment, down 62% from $1 billion to $383 million, largely due to the absence of a Switch 2 launch comparable to June 2025. Nintendo hardware spending fell 79% versus its launch month, PlayStation 5 dropped 19%, while Xbox Series more than doubled year-on-year. Software declined 12% and accessories fell 21%.
