    Everything is going to converge on mobile device gaming. Power of mobile devices goes up, internet becomes more stable…

      We will never have the same power in a mobile device that we do in a desktop computer.

          What? VR has been almost completely stagnant and frankly dying since Alyx. There’s no convergence when there is zero progress overall.

      I think that the mobile share will for sure continue to grow before it plateaus, but I have a hard time believing that all markets will converge to mobile within any relevant time frame. Just by virtue of not being mobile, desktop builds will always have options for larger hardware with better performance and cooling compared to their mobile competitors

        True. But right now even Apple iPhones are the same power or the same chip architecture as their desktop counterparts. So the convergence is already happened. The interface of desktops will always be better. My thesis is that desktops, uneven consoles are going to become niche for their markets.

          Using Mac as an example of gaming when they compose a smaller percent than even Linux users, is ridiculous. You make some interesting points elsewhere, but you completely lost me with this one.
