Previously it was believed that Hi-Fi Rush would go multi-plat but now it looks like they're going to do the same with Starslop and Indiana Jones. Indy was looking like the first worthwhile exclusive they'd had in years too but now that's going to be on PS5 too. It is so over for Xbros. We are witnessing Microsoft going the way of Sega.

This was a long time coming but it's still a little surprising to see actually happen. I'd thought them buying Activision was a hail Mary to see if they could turn the Xbox around still. Later in this generation is when I was expecting Microsoft to publicly give up on selling hardware.

I mean based on that chart you posted mobile games have been dominant for a while now but console and PC games have managed to coexist with them. The experiences they offer are different enough from each other I don't see any reason they can't continue to coexist in this way. Maybe if gen alpha are actually completely disinterested in console gaming but I don't believe they are. I don't think you can sell 140 million Switches without kids being into them.

fricking mobile games, theres barely a hand full thats actually in the top 5 of a genre. Like - best tycoon game is openttd and only cause its ported now. Best turn based strategy is heroes 3 cause its ported too.
I dont even care for screen sizes, sure thats a bit tough but who does give a shit about UI when the rest of the game is cookie clicker x1000.
Tbf, Unciv is great. Thats it.

Mobile games are specifically for 3rd worlders like China, India or SEA they dominate there but I really don't see the appeal of them to western audiences.

IMO Mobile and Console/PC are two different market bases still (capital G G*mers won't touch mobile with a 10 foot pole in my experience) but it will be interesting see if Gen Alpha does drop consoles all together.
I kind of doubt it somewhat just because they are the children of millennials and are still growing up with consoles/PC yet.
