For many years, PC has been our main platform. While we will continue to use the PC as our main platform, I hope to achieve our 100 million copies goal with contribution from AAA-type titles on smartphones.” - COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto

I.. I think this just defies logic. Last game I played on smartphone was genshin and I preferred an actual dedicated device like the switch or steam deck over my smartphone. I don’t think this will be noticed as a true contender at all.

Pc has been their main platform for years? First time I am hearing this

Not sure how many would buy smartphone games at those prices. This goes to show that consoles can't get to increase their userbase beyond 230/250M combined for the 3 so publishers have to look for alternate markets to keep growing.

So far they have resorted into extracting more $ per user but eventually platform holders will have to drop prices of their boxes to increase the userbase. Wonder if third parties put some pressure on them in that regard.
