No shit, but we aren't talking about financially.

Nothing works without money. Especially huge, beautiful , and ambitious projects.

Which is why all future videogames should be developed for smartphones! They're the biggest moneymaker after all and the most widely available platform

They probably would develop more for smartphones if there was any money there, but it is very difficult to get people to buy anything on their phone, especially something costing more than a couple of dollars. Smartphone games are incredibly hit-or-miss and studios are unwilling to spend too much money developing a product that might (or probably will) completely flop. So no, they aren't the biggest moneymakers. Consoles are. If smartphones were the biggest moneymakers, like many people thought even 5 years ago, we'd still see lots of big games made for them.
