It's funny to me that we are not looking at the market beyond Sony Microsoft Nintendo.

Retro gaming handhelds for emulation are on the rise and large swaths of the market are gravitating to them. There is growth in gaming but it's actually a growth in piracy. No one likes the new stuff.

Any numbers you could share to show "large swaths of the market"?
