I can’t help what you infer from what I said, but I didn’t say runaway. I said it’s been ceding ground over decades, which it has. For another thing that’s not captured in that broad graph, something like half of all playtime on consoles is only a few of the biggest live service games, which does skew things like dollars earned for those platforms while not reflecting the situation for the likes of companies that are putting out new video games every couple of years. No surprise that subscriptions haven’t affected playing Fortnite on PS5, because free to play games don’t require that subscription fee like Elden Ring does.

Again…
From 2006 to 2026: *Console market share dropped 24% *PC market share dropped 22%
PC isn’t “cannibalizing” shit… They are both losing to Mobile.

You put “cannibalize” in quotes as though I said it. I did not. Please don’t invent an argument that I didn’t make.

That statement is untrue; both have lost market share to mobile.
