I was making my point in the context of the thread mate. I.e. Will PCs dominate gaming in future? If your only point was that computers are more powerful than mobiles why not make that your response to my first comment? I thought this was a discussion about whether mobiles will continue to be as relevant in gaming as they are today, and I don't think they will.

I guess my point isnt that your original point is wrong, it's more that it's not paericularly relevant in this instance. And the PoV of the user is far more important (as evidenced by all those switch only gamers).

LOL their entire point was that PCs were popular because "everyone has one".

Who's entire point was that...? Because I just read every parent comment to this and it's not mentioned once, the only point I'm making is that I expect the majority of gaming to be done on mobile in the eventual future.

The world's best phone will be "outstripped" by a basic desktop costing half the price. Always. Simple physics.

This may be true today, but as PCs become only specialist equipment those basic machines will get rarer and rarer. It also doesn't matter if the smartphone is capable of playing AAA games at a comparable quality.

Slightly amused by the point you make about mobile/switch revenues... How is it that you can argue the PCs win vs switch because they earn more money, then in the next breath ignore the fact that mobile does that against all other gaming combined?

My guy, you responded to that comment. And you need me to repeat myself? Just read better.

They're not going to be able to play them at all, just like they aren't now.

Don't know how closely youve been paying attention but games are becoming more demanding, not less. Some of them aren't even capable of running stably on high end desktop hardware. Modern minimum hardware requirements are insane.

Read my response again mate, the irony of telling me to read better is kinda delicious xD

No, I didn't respond to that comment, I responded to the comment where you confidently and incorrectly stated that PoV wasn't relevant :) x
