The most important "goalpost" is: Every major cross-platform AAA game gets released simultaneously on Windows, Xbox and PlayStation. When macOS gets added to the list in a consistant manner, people will consider it a "major" gaming platform.

Having access to a lot of mobile games doesn't matter for hardcore gamers.



This is a good example of changing the goal posts.

Your claim means that the Nintendo switch is not a gaming platform.

A AAA game is not denoted by how many platforms it releases on the first day.

Your other comment about mobile games is just another form of gatekeeping. Again the Switch is mobile gaming and would not meet your criteria.
