IPad sales went down from last year, which probably was surprising given the launch of two great iPads (the Mini and the Air) last year. My guess is that iPad sales are starting to plateau because of market saturation...

Any have any guesses as to why year to year iPad sales have dropped?

My guess is lack of Touch ID.
Expect ipad sales to pick up in the fall once Touch ID is introduced to the iPad.

Tim Cook's explanation was related to channel sales and inventory.
