Which is kind of a good thing. The console wars have been large irrelevant for the past 20 years, because PC already won.

Nope, Mobile won. PC and Consoles combined are not even reaching the revenue, number of releases or players of mobile gaming.

    Yeah, but mobile gaming is largely a very different animal. I don't feel that comparing them is helpful at all. They're very different audiences, and very different games. While I'm sure there's some overlap they're very much not interchangeable.

    Any major studio releasing a AAA game with the level of microtransactions and blatant money-bait that mobile games regularly get away with would be absolutely annihilated by public outrage.
