Just look at the sales trajectories, and the following uses a rather conservative estimate about mobile gaming sales (others are already at 25+ billion USD in 2014)

I'll tell you why people don't buy PCs in numbers any more. They are increasingly using their smartphones and tablets for their computing needs now. Whether the PC performs well doesn't matter, they only boot it up every once in a while to do something that can't yet be done with the other devices.
And guess what happens if you boot your PC once every couple of weeks: Operating system and applications will install updates, bringing the system down to a crawl and making it an even less pleasant experience that it already was, causing people to avoid it even more.

Part of it is also driven by hype (e.g. people who need the latest Apple iPhone every year). This has to do with the fact that smartphones are lifestyle items now, something the PC (except Mac) never achieved.

I also never said that the PC is irrelevant. I said that it is becoming irrelevant.
