You’re comparing apples to oranges.

The mobile gaming market is leagues larger than every other market combined. That doesn’t mean the games are even remotely comparable to console games.

It’s an entirely different target audience. Mobile games are focused on quick sessions and design patterns designed to encourage spending money on microtransactions. Games made for the traditional gaming market are mostly designed for longer play sessions with more mechanically complex gameplay. I as well as many others prefer the latter.

Nintendo’s store is full of shovelware, but at least you’ll find more traditional games than just ports of indie hits.
