And I don't think mobile games are cutting into the console market's piece of the pie as much as it is just people gaming on their phones who wouldn't otherwise be owning a console anyway, out of necessity or otherwise (bored at work, school, no money for $60 games, etc.).

Exactly! Anyone that uses the term boomers so flippantly is literally a walking cliche. And the increase of mobile gaming as compared to console or PC is just as you hinted at. People are bored and it’s convenient to play a game on your phone under certain circumstances. The overall market reach of gaming increased and thus on the graph it looks like console gaming has decreased. It’s not fair or accurate to compare Candy Crush to Call of Duty.
