Everything is going to converge on mobile device gaming. Power of mobile devices goes up, internet becomes more stable…
I think that the mobile share will for sure continue to grow before it plateaus, but I have a hard time believing that all markets will converge to mobile within any relevant time frame. Just by virtue of not being mobile, desktop builds will always have options for larger hardware with better performance and cooling compared to their mobile competitors
True. But right now even Apple iPhones are the same power or the same chip architecture as their desktop counterparts. So the convergence is already happened. The interface of desktops will always be better. My thesis is that desktops, uneven consoles are going to become niche for their markets.
Using Mac as an example of gaming when they compose a smaller percent than even Linux users, is ridiculous. You make some interesting points elsewhere, but you completely lost me with this one.
Headline is a smidge misleading. “PC gaming has a larger revenue than console gaming in the US” is more accurate. It’s certainly not true in other parts of the world.
It would be interesting to see an overall data, considered many part of the world (like China) consoles like Playstation and Xbox aren’t even a thing.
Places like China even gaming PCs aren’t really a thing. They mostly play on mobile, because that’s pretty much all they can realistically afford.
I am from China. I think your opinion is not true.
Chinese people is not rich, but take a month income to buy a console , it is affordable.
The fact is the strict scrutiny from the CCP and pervasive plundering of people’s privacy and the cognitive manipulation of people through the data algorithms of technology companies causing this.
In China, all the legal games need being approved by the CCP’s government, and the legal consoles just have about one hundred games approved .
The technology companies like tencent have almost all the internet portals or other Internet information channels. And almost all the Chinese internet companies must structure their CCP branch, serving for the CCP’s power, and must provide the authority delete, block, and review any information to the CCP.
In China, any information the Chinese people have received must serve the benefits of the Chinese Communist Party, let alone go against it.
That’s why Chinese people are addicted in the mobile games. Almost every console game is legally banned and the console games have only a small amount of exposure and traffic.
the console gamer in China face tough technical difficulties from the CCP to buy and download/transport. Mobile games have huge propaganda. Even the former Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary/Current Prime Minister of the State Council of China Li Qiang stand up for mobile games “genshin impact“.
To be brief, in China, console game cannot bring benefits to the CCP, it provided the culture anti CCP’s values. That’s what the CCP opposes.
