It's really not that complicated, where can we play games is the question.
The differences only come into what type of games you wanna play. Actual games are made for consoles. Name a gaming company and they are primarily console centric. This is where somebody will
and go "What about this company, they sold 300million copies of unicorn master warriors on PC" and while that may be true, that company's name isn't mentioned, doesn't ring bells like when you say "Capcom, Konami, Nintendo, 343 studios, naughty dawg (well what's left of it 
) etc" PC is more freelance if you will. Eventually computers will be in everything so gaming will go wherever the tech takes us moving forward. AR/VR most likely but polished unlike everything we've seen so far. Matrix type shyt 
my thing is it's redundant hardware for the sake of exclusivity. how many computers do I need in my house? especially when they're very similar, and the only difference is certain software is licensed to only work on a certain brand of hardware
at some point it's like I don't know what yall are fighting for. do you get some satisfaction buying a bunch of devices that do the same thing? I'm sure @winb83 probably got 3 cell phones in his pocket, but does it really need to be like that?

At this time, for the next very long while, you'll not be able to beat the convenience of Console gaming, especially with several new generations of kids.

Don't forget that a large portion of these "sales" are fake stat numbers as they are bundled in with mobile phone providers when you buy a new phone contract.
The phone industry is essentially buying the PS4s to entice customers.
The video game sales are in part largely beefed up by shovelware and cheap arcade titles so that isn't the same as forking out £50 for a video game vs £2-£10.
When the PS2 was so those were physical direct sales from the manufacturer to the consumer.

yes and no
The concept of gaming has been hijacked by nerds. Nerds didn't play pacman or even super Mario bros. They did once they got aNintendo but the real nerds would play games that appeal to them. And with no internet, a computer was just a nerds luxury. More powerful they had a bunch of cool looking stuff but when you played it You knew it was a nerd interpretation of a game.
Over the years, evolution had skinny jeans and nerds fused, and that's how It'syoung was born.
Nobody ever called a Nintendo a computer, not even now. But we try to view the Xbox and ps4 as gaming PC's. The Xbox one X being more powerful than most gaming PC's has who upset when you say that? NERDS
They will eventually stop calling consoles consoles because nerds want to be respected, all gaming will be cloud based and the nerds will push the narrative that the cloud is a PC so you're a nerdy PC gamer like people who play Dota.
They've already convinced themselves that since consoles have "tech" in it that technically it's a computer
i notice the past 2 weeks youve been either intentionally misspelling my name or not @ ing me when discussing me
if you scared just say you scared , we already think you are a lowly man so we cant think any lower of you already
How dafuq has the Switch proven that when the PS4 has incredible sales?
Because everything about it was supposed to fail. It was a goofy console, it had no real titles (outside of Zelda), it wasn't anywhere near as powerful, it was gimmicky, and Nintendo had flubbed their last console so hard they basically threw it in the bushes. And yet...here it is already doing better than Microsoft's consoles and firmly planting its foot in the industry as a console/hand-held hybrid which is something Sony has been trying to figure out for the past decade. Once the new Pokemon drops for it, its a wrap on M$.
Also consider Sony had a 4 year head start on the Switch and came out of the gate swinging and buried Microsoft. They basically had console monopoly this gen since day 1.

Cats have no idea what the hell is going on in the industry. Everytime a 55 year old picks up a phone and plays fukking Bejeweled that's a game. Not to mention Android made cellphones democratic as fukk. Damn near everyone in a first world country or emerging economy has a cellphone capable of gaming. The same is not true for consoles and handhelds.
In fact, it was INCUMBENT on Nintendo to look past the DS and come out with the Switch because if any market is going to be swallowed up by Mobile games its the handhelds.

they saying by 2020, mobile gaming will reach 50 billion yearly revenue
The bejeweled market and the switch market are two very different markets.
The fact that grandmas are playing a couple games on their phones does not diminish the console market.
I wouldn't be surprised. Just look at all the money Niantic made from PoGo last year (and will make again when the weather breaks in the northern hemisphere).
