US gamers have spent $27.9bn in 2019 so far

A new report from the NPD shows US consumers have spent a little under $30 billion on video games products and services since the year began.
The company's Q3 2019 Games Market Dynamics: US report states spending for January 1st to September 30, 2019 reached $27.9 billion, a slight increase of 1% year-on-year.
Spending for Q3 (July 1 to September 30) was reported as $9.18 billion, also up 1% year-on-year.
The NPD reported double-digital percentage growth in spending on mobile, subscription services and digital console content, but this was offset by declines across various other segments -- most notably, hardware.
