I'm not convinced that mobile is a good platform for longer-term games.
want to spend 5-10 minutes waiting on the bus while flapping a bird or crushing some candy? makes sense to me.
Resident Evil? I'm not so sure.
On the other hand, Fortnite seems to work, so what do I know?
Anyway, I think Phones have become powerful enough that they should be able to get docked to a Desk/TV. Then it makes more sense to me again, a Phone could be the only computing device most people use
I’m sure a five minute wait playing RE4 on your phone will also leave you hunting for a charger at your next destination as well. As cool as it would be to play big games, my phone is just too important for everything else.
Fair. Although Pokémon go players seem to have found a solution for that problem ^^

Apart from that, steam deck is hugely successful. You could get a controller that wraps around your phone and you basically have the same thing (with many asterisks).
