        Sony has sold approximately 150 million PS4/5. Assuming they’re ALL being played, and that Microsoft sold roughly the same number, that means that if roughly one in every five iPhone owners play games, there are equal numbers.

        But A lot of it, I’m sure, comes down to what everybody considers gamers/games. Balatro? Unquestionably a game, does it count for your statistics? I don’t know. From my phone on a brief search, the total market was somewhere around 180 billion last year, and $90 billion of that was mobile, and Sony made $17.5 billion in services, though I’m not sure if that includes the actual consoles.

      So what.

      I had to look up what the hell games arcade was because I’ve never heard of it, which rather proved my point about it being a limited platform.

      I’ve spoken to a few friends who have iPhones and none of them have anything to do with games arcade, and only one of them even knew what it was.
