Mobile gaming is the largest gaming market... And that is dominated by mobile phones.

If you're talking about microtransaction laden match 3 gem and battle royale games, sure.  I reiterate my statement that no one wants to make a phone call on their dedicated gaming device.  There is a reason it is referred to as a dedicated gaming device.  The device is dedicated to playing fully fledged video games.  A mobile phone is designed to be a mobile phone first with the ability to other things.  I'm pretty sure no one goes out and buys a mobile phone with their first instinct being, I need this to play Clash of Clans or Candy Crush.  There is a reason for why Nintendo has been able to successfully continue selling video game systems with a fully portable and hybrid portable aspect in an era where a large number of people were very confident that "mobile killed dedicated handheld gaming".  There is also a reason why a game like Star Wars Battlefront II receives a tremendous amount of backlash when a company like EA tries to slip in loot box gambling mechanics that mobile game companies rely on for their revenue.  It's not 1 huge gaming market dominated by mobile phones.  It's 2 completely different markets.

Dedicated gaming device

Mobile phones

The types of games or the payment schemes employed are irrelevant, that wasn't part of your argument.

Point is, Billions (That is Billions, folks, with a capital B) use their phones for gaming verses 100's of millions for consoles.
