That's part of what I'm saying.

The other part is, let's not compare isolated cases but total numbers (with or without inflation). Do we have total numbers for how much money movies (or video games) made in 2016 compared to, say, 1993?

How much in total? As in, dvd/blu ray/netflix/theaters? Or just the theaters? Because my original point about comparing the movie industry was how movies didn't die off, they migrated. I was making the argument that we're seeing something similar in gaming. In 1988, if you made a pie graph, chances are it would have been dominated by home consoles and then mostly PC. In 2016, that pie graph as shruken and will continue to shrink until we see a crest. Right now, gaming is all over the place and transitioning into other areas which means traditional gaming (consoles) is going to decline. 

But that doesn't mean the "death" of console gaming. Far from it.

"Movies have declined... by alot. One look at the inflation adjusted list and it's confirmed. Snow White and 101 Dalmations out earned Frozen and The Lion King. Actual ticket sales are nothing like they were back in the day".

Even without netflix and everything else, how many tickets were sold when Snow White came out (for all movies that year) and how many this year or in 2015?
