Yeah but their aren't spending money on really making a bunch of mobile games like they used to with handhelds. They make like 1-2 mobile games a year on average, all of which cost a whole lot less than full fledged games on a handheld.

That is the point of this thread. Their expenses are down because of this consolidation.

Their expenses have never been higher...

These are relatively close to each other compared to the operating profit, which means if you adjust for inflation then the average expenses for 2017-2019 is considerably lower than the average for 2002-2016 expenses. Those would be numbers I'd like to see.
