Hard to say if that drop is directly or indirectly attributable to much of anything, but it is quite a drop.
There are a ton of simple factors really
-The Wii has been in a steep decline for a while now. Sales are generally buoyed by the holidays and the occasional major release.
-The 3DS has had a less than spectacular launch reception. Selling under anticipation for the first 2-3 months.
-No major software released this year on either of their major consoles. Though they had Pokemon Black/White
