They dont know any better.
Time to educate them, the masses.

This is a PS4/Xbox One, this is why you want one instead of a Mobile phone.
Lots and lots of marketing.

It ll work... it has too, Im too old and grumpy to end up useing a phone as my main gameing fix.

People who can't see this really need to get out of their bubble.

Go look at any airport the next time you're on a flight ... the number of kids playing on a tablet/mom's phone outnumber "traditional" handhelds by like 10 to 1... and I'm probably being generous for traditional handhelds, its really probably more like 15:1. I fly all the time for work, and I see it every week.

Mobile is absolutely dominating the kids market. Flat out. Nintendo knows how bad its gotten, that's why they caved and decided to start making their own smartphone games. 

When I'm in Best Buy, parents drop their little kids off at the freaking Apple section and leave them to play on the iPad while they go shop elsewhere. 

In the living room:
PC --> laptops --> tablets.

i honestly don't even have a computer at home anymore. i bring my work laptop home the 2 or 3 times a year i actually need one. for daily use i just use my ipad because it does everything i want it to do while being much easier to use on a couch.

PCs are really just for productivity these days. the workplace won't ditch PC for a very long time but at home they are just overkill.

I bought a 12ft trampoline for my kid. And she's four.

This is why Nintendo isn't doing too good

Is it mobile?

It better be.  I'm geting my grass cut this week.

Now it's something people have been saying about video games since they first entered the home.

Well that's a shame

This is somewhat tragic.
