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.
