All About the Benjamins

I would argue that phone and tablet games have broadened the pool of people who could be classified as "gamers," but that they haven't attacked the market occupied by PC or console gaming in any significant way. If you like complex and well-built games, mobile really has nothing to offer. It's not a limitation of the platform, but of imaginiation: the people making games for mobile are either porting classics or rebuilding Facebook time-sinks; the first of those might appeal to us, but the second is really not a threat.

Also, re: upgrading your PC? I get a good 5-6 years out of a machine before it needs an upgrade, especially these days when the tech-plateau seems to be leveling off, at least for games. Unless you're trying to get games from the classic era to work, gaming on a PC isn't any more complicated than gaming on a console.
