You're right that (These days at least) most people who play games, play them on mobile devices, particularly smartphones and tablets. Maybe I'm still living in 2004. Thinking it through a bit more, consoles seem best suited to that area between casual and hardcore (I've heard people call it the "softcore" crowd): Those who want a "true" gaming experience, but aren't willing to spend a massive amount of money on their hobby. Many people will only own one console, with the enthusiasts usually owning multiple or all of them. |
I'm fine with lazy enthusiast gamer :p
I do spend way too much on gaming, just not interested anymore in hunting gpus and optimal configurations. I get it, it's a fun part of the hobby too, following gpu advancements, checking weekly for new beta drivers, tweaking settings, modding, etc. It's a different part of the experience.
It's just amusing that some people seem to consider themselves better gamers because of that, like they made the games themselves... And every new game that comes out it's nothing but complaints about the unoptimized mess, followed by boasting how much better it runs than on consoles. Which is it... PC games intentionally held back to make the console version look better, that was a good laugh.
