Thanks for sharing. Is there any particular reason why Game Soundtrack dropped 82%?
The soundtracks sector is actually Films, TV, and Music, not just music. It dropped because the Sonic film came out in 2020 pre-pandemic while nothing major game related came out in 2021.
 
VR is already 15% console hardware and grew by 40%+. That's the biggest takeaway from this in my opinion.

Okay, thank you. That makes much more sense.
