I think that is plausible also, and also video games.

I think in general the market is going to sell what people are buying.

The sales data in video games tells a different story. The exact problem is only for those that aren't selling what the market wants or will buy. Studios that make what the market wants do just fine. Those that are concerned with other factors do not. How this is surprising to anyone is a source of amazement to me.
