Kind of makes the title moot. People with home entertainment systems (be it a PC or a console) also spend time playing on a handheld device when not at home.
Did they expect people to carry around cables and a console to play while waiting for the dentist?
I dont typically play mobile games. My mains are ps5 and switch. I just look at internet stuff when I wait for the dentist.
That's what I am thinking. I obviously don't mean to gatekeep and say mobile gaming isn't "real gaming" but with the amount of people who have phones it's obviously going to dwarf any other category.
The article also doesn't appear to mention a time frame. If you played Pokemon GO or Worldle when they were quite popular would that count?
