Maybe people are playing less games than a few years ago?

The tech industry is eating itself. I think NVIDIA is making out ok though, AI has created jobs for them for now.

They're playing less AAA games, yes. People are thinking much harder about the $60+ price tag as AAA studios repeatedly fail to live up to their promises. I feel like Nintendo is the only AAA company that doesn't have a losing record for the past ~5 years

There’s a few L’s but overall yeah, Nintendo has been doing fine.
