Verifikation

Bestätigt

Plausible. Game Pass, PS Plus, and Nintendo Switch Online have grown significantly. c101 claims console spend is down 13% net of subscriptions since 2020, which supports this. However, the claim overstates the case — traditional game sales still represent the majority of console revenue.
