Are you saying that you think the virus will have no impact on the relative market share of each type of gaming in the long run?
If so, I hope you're wrong. I am hopeful that all of this free time will get more people into console and PC gaming, and that some of those people will keep gaming even as things start to get back to normal. I do think that mobile should continue to grow about as it always has, once things return to normal. That's fine. I'm just optimistic that this will help grow traditional gaming.
I imagine it will come down to how much do lifestyles change in the long run. If more people will work from home, thereby freeing up an hour a day of commute time, that would mean there's more time for gaming.
if people just realize that more time spent at home is good, that could also change things.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out over the next few months, maybe the next year or so.
