  It’s been a slow but steady transition. PC used to not even be worth big publishers’ time to make a half-assed port, and now over 20 years later, in most cases, it’s 50%+ of their customers and revenue.

    Anecdotal account, so please take with a big grain of salt.

    I want to add to support your position: even in Japan, we’re seeing sections dedicated to PC gaming in normie electronics stores. It might not be the dominant platform yet, but it’s definitely gaining mainstream acceptance with Twitch streamers becoming more prominent as well. It’s slow, but it’s happening even in the land of consoles.

  They’re not building PCs but they are buying/using laptops, and, to a lesser extent, prebuilts. I’ve also built a few gaming PCs on request from otherwise “casual” consumers though that’s a smaller portion of the market.

  The Switch still offers the plug-and-play experience the other consoles lost.

  The other points still apply, but the Nintendo crowd doesn’t seem to mind being fucked sideways.
