The gaming industry as a whole is growing to be bigger than ever before, that doesn't mean the console industry is shrinking. It just means that in addition to consoles there are now so many other places to play games. I don't think there will be as many console sales this gen as there were last gen. But thats because 80M+ of the people that bought a certain console last gen are ok playing games on their cellphone this gen. There are PC gamers, Console gamers, Handheld gamers and mobile gamers. The first two feeds are in the same market and the last two are in the same market. As long as the combined sales of consoles can surpass 100M each generation. Console gaming will be just fine and viable. Thats really all that matters. You can tell me mobile games are replacing console games the day I can play games that play and look like TLoU, Farcry, the witcher, bloodborne, COD, GTA, FF15...etc. The only people that should really be afraid of the growth of mobile games are handheld gamers. |
Well i assume you were talking about the wii which is the console industry if im not mistaken. So it did shrink....
