I have my 11-year-old niece who casually games and this is true for her; she has a Switch she plays with a lil' bit here and there (Splatoon, Minecraft, etc.), and no desire to have a PS5 or Xbox. Most of her gaming is done on the phone.

That being said, console gaming still is not going anywhere for another 15-20 years at least...if it dies off at all.

The only thing that will die and we are seeing it is exclusivity. With Sony and Microsoft. Because of how much they spend on AAA games. Nintendo is the only one that can still get away with it because their exclusives don’t cost as much to make as Sony. But eventually I think Nintendo will cave especially if they want to get a taste of the gaas money. I think had switch not been a success we would already be seeing Nintendo games on other platforms.

You'll see triple A games die out before Sony or Nintendo go full 3rd party.

as long as Nintendo makes a console, and parents buy it for their kids, kids will be conditioned to play games on a gaming system :manny:
are parents buying it for their kids if their kids don't ask for it?
