I know it technically counts and all, but it bothers me that "mobile" is included in "video games". Mobile "games" are clickbaits and doomscrolls and it seems weird to compare them in the same graph as Nintendo/PC etc.

HOWEVER - in terms of REVENUE there is no denying how much money they make on mobile games! Probably due in part to the clickbait/doomscroll nature of them.

I didn't post this graphic for the mobile and console games. I posted it because of the claim that PC games are "an industry bigger than football and TV and film combined!" USD 45Bn is big but not bigger than football and TV and film combined. The combined PC games revenue is about half of Disney's yearly revenue.
