Activision blames Xbox One, PS4, Disney, and Pokémon — basically, everything but Obama — for Skylanders’ dipping sales

Skylanders isn’t performing as well as it did last year, and Activision is pointing fingers at Disney, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.

Publisher Activision launched Skylanders: Swap Force in October. It’s the third release in the franchise that combines digital games with real toys (which players mostly have to purchase separately). The series is still the No.1 franchise for kids, according to Activision, but it’s down compared to 2012’s Skylanders Giants.
