 @7afab20d Nintendo killed the arcade. You could play multiple games..
Same for PC and you didn't have to leave home.

You could play adventure and rpg formats and story driven games. Not just racing and shooters.

Plus practicality

 @951ad5bd Yeah but why do they still have Daytona USA with 90's grade vector graphics at the arcade, and not Gran Turismo 7?

Gamers!

Why would anyone need more than Doom?

And the phone should be made from bakelite!
