June 2016 NPD: Interactive gaming-toy sales plummet 21% in June

Gamers are spending less on those “toys-to-life” statues.

Interactive gaming toys dragged down the accessories sector of U.S. game sales in June, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Game-related accessories generated $120.9 million in June, which is down 6 percent from $129.1 million in June 2015. NPD credits the Skylanders, Amiibo, and other interactive figures for the decline.
