Why bother buying consoles next gen?

they are also using games that aren't sold on consoles like Warhammer, WoW, League of Legends, etc. I was never arguing that consoles were going to take back everything and lock it away forever. I simply stated a fact. Console revenue was more than PC revenue in 2018. Simple as that. 

The problem with the "dominoes" argument is that it assumes two things. It assumes that ad revenue from F2P games are the same as sales revenue. It assumes that mobile games, and AAA games are fighting for the same market. 

And where are the really old games not being sold on PC that are being sold on current gen that make the money that LoL does to this day?. The list they have for games not sold are current gen based, not last gen based because last gen isn't being counted in for profits and revenue, that's the big difference here. 

You stated a fact, but that doesn't mean to say that this year or next, the opposite will occur. It's why I'll never bother to assume "it's here and now", because here and now isn't going to matter in the next 2-50 years. Simple as that for 2018 yes, without a doubt, does it matter in the long-run, with how we're moving towards all digital and streaming?, no, not really.

AAA and mobile aren't the same, but you're also assuming AAA>anything else, but you'll also assume mobile>everything else, the latter actually makes a factual correction over the former, because it simply has the most users and makes the most money. Have you seen Candy crush and other games out there that take far less effort to craft and make far more money and have far more users than what it takes to craft one exclusive for one plastic box?. I wouldn't assume more effort/more time put into something>something that took less effort and time, as if it makes less money than the former, while the former does make far less money than the latter. Just take a gander at SP games, yeah, they sell well, but online based games are making more per user dumping into those systems on a daily basis.
