a huge chunk of that money is going into fortnite/GAAS and gacha mobile games, thats my point. mobile gacha games like genshin impact and stuff alone made over $5b last year, previously all that money was spent on AAA games. Fortnite alone made $6 billion in 2025 - Nintendos entire global revenue in 2025 was $8 billion. Roblux made $5 billion.
yeah for sure nintendo is huge and doing extremely well, as you say a big chunk of people buying single player games are 20-50s not kids. But an entire generation of kids now has been trained to play GAAS and f2p games and watch games on streams instead of playing them, I think that makes the future very bleak for single player narrative focused expensive budget games as older people age out and there are fewer kids to replace them.
hopefully it changes (tastes change wildly as you age) but I'm not sure how it'll go.
