This article is a bit depressing and I don't think it speaks to the truth as one may think. It focuses excessively on maid cafés and retailers that cater to otaku, and says little to nothing about the electronic products market. I'm not an expert on that situation but I'm pretty sure everything is okay in Akiba ;)
