Sony is ready to admit that mobile gaming is too big to ignore

You may not be aware of just how much money the mobile market is worth. Nintendo's entire annual revenue for recent years is around 12-15 billion. The single mobile game Genshin Impact made 2 billion in one year. Tencent, which owns a lot of mobile games, has an annual revenue of around 30 billion. Also remember that this is revenue, not profit.

Would you work 40 hours a week for $100k or 5 hours a week for $200k?

And bill gates is worth more then 100B, I should just go and be bill gates #2?

The mobile space is swamped with people trying to be the next fate or the next genshin or the next etc etc. Again, as I said in another comment, it's fine to get your feet wet and diversify, but just because one (1) company can make it big with anime girls doesn't mean you will or that it's a sure bet. If anything, the gacha space is way to saturated at this point and the whales by their nature of being whales, there just aren't that many to go around.

My argument really isn't Sony should ignore mobile but their small footprint isn't the crime for shareholders that game media people like OP make it out to be.
