That's what I was thinking. Those who used to read SF/Fantasy, have moved over to "Young Adult" "twinkly vampire" stuff. It's just a different classification, not really a different market. I would imagine -- eventually -- the "Twilight" stuff will fade out and so-called "real" SF will take its place again. Last time I was in a Barnes & Noble it looked like a whole big section was taken up with Twilight clones.
