While this is an important and valid general concern, the article was specifically talking about only a few teen brands that up until very recently were doing quite well. I don't see any general trend or problem with teen purchasing, only a handful of dinosaurs about to be left behind by newer more agile competitors. That and it's a new game console year which probably puts dent on expendable teenage income.
