Yes, that myth about console gaming being hit by mobile gaming is just a myth spread by non gamers. In reality, what has been hit is Nintendo as all the casual/infant gamers who bought the Wii in their millions have moved over to playing cheapy mobile and tablet games. For the core gamer, the main reason sales of PS3/X360 games and consoles are down is because we are at the end of a console generation and people are waiting and saving up for the next generation PS4/X1.

Mobile games are still a generation behind console gaming in terms of graphics, gameplay, restrictive touch controls, etc… and mobile gamers are mainly little kids or adult casual gamers, the millions of core gamers who play on PS3/X360/PC will still buy the next gen PS4/X1 consoles. The record pre-orders for PS4/X1 show this, and i believe mobile and console gaming can happily co-exist.

I only really play mobile IOS games on my iPhone when I’m on a train or bored at lunchtime or something like that. There are some good mobile games, I get bored of them pretty quickly, but really these games are not trying to compete with console gaming, when I get home and want some proper immersive gaming, nothing beats a AAA title on my PS3 on a big screen TV with a proper controller or my PC (and I have pre-ordered the PS4, really looking forward to the next gen experience).

Watch how many preorders are cancelled/returned at the last minute as many of the consoles preordered are just being done by people looking to resell them.
