    Isn’t iOS already one of the most profitable gaming platforms across the board?

      Sure, but to lot of traditional gamers that means as much as saying reality TV is one of the most profitable shows to someone who doesn’t like reality TV.

      For Mobile sure. But your never going to convert a Console or PC gamer to Mobile.

      My iPhone (when I get it) will basically just become an extension of my Xbox and PC when I want to do any major Gaming. But, I will still have a few time waster mobile games and now I’ll also have Monster Hunter Now, which is an actually engaging and fun POGO style game.

      Really depends on how you segment gaming. Apple is constitutionally incapable of doing what it did with AppleTV+ in the gaming segment.

      Sure, for mobile games. But there not going to compete with Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo in the console space. They should probably be treated as separate markets because there is really not much overlap between the two in terms of audiences.
