Everyone in 2022 has a smartphone. Wellfare hands out free phones. The barrier to entry for phone games is super low . You download an ap and boom you have a game. PCs and Consoles are niches for nerds and people who have money.

Bad take. Welfare doesnt hand out free internet which phones all need for games.

The only phone games that don't suck are ports from other platforms.

Eh those can suck just as much due to touchscreen controls.

I was going to say, I qualified for a version of Access Wireless that gives me unlimited text, 1,000 minutes, and 4.5 GBs of data a month for free.

The data is fine for general playing, but for installs/updates that's where the free wifi at the piblic library comes in.

Most commonly used, maybe. I wouldn't say phones are the "main" platform. All the big budget stuff is still limited to consoles and PC.

There's plenty of offline games you don't need data for. They can be downloaded at Starbucks, libraries, doctor's offices, etc.

Phones today have stronger GPUs than the Nintendo switch & probably XSS.

Consoles are at an inherent disadvantage compared to PC (and even mobile after a couple years) due to sticking with (mostly) the same hardware through the whole generation (i.e. so that games released late in a console's lifespan still run on launch day hardware)
