yeah but there are mobile consoles and all kind of stuff trying to compete with consoles. Those stuff will fail obviously. I am not saying smartphones or tablets wont sell at all but you will see more PS4 sales and growth than you will see the mobile stuff. And yes you wills see PC slowing down again.

You can see that on Amazon, retail PC gaming is still huge in germany but now even the wiiu is getting bigger than PC retail sales.

If PS4 sales grow it will be because of the price cut and upcoming games (mainly COD/Fallout 4/Battlefront) rather than because other markets are shrinking. People that play games on mobile are just a completely different market. They like to have cheap, or better yet even free games, and aren't likely to spend a large amount of money on a PS4. There is some overlap, yes, but they aren't just going to stop playing mobile games. Not unless you can take a PS4 on the train/to work or wherever and keep playing it there.

Don't think you can really say PC gaming is declining based on retail sales. Even in countries where retail sales are typically strong it could just be that digital sales grew at the same rate that physical ones fell.

yeah but in germany we get plenty of physical releases for PC even if its just a steam key like with the pc version of MGS5
