“Video games software spending increased by 14 percent to $313 million. This was due in large part to the stronger comparison this January with the release of Capcom’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Total hardware spending in January reached $127 million. That’s a 19 percent decline versus January 2016.” - NPD analyst Sam Naji
