Hypothetical semi personal example:
I got an iPhone and suddenly about 40% of my Internet consumption went to the iPhone. Now, in that case most of the 40% was incremental, but it did supplant about 10% of my desktop browsing.
I got a tablet and suddenly about 30% of my Internet consumption is on the tablet, stealing about 10% from the iPhone, 10% incremental, and 10% from desktop.
I've reduced my desktop Internet use by only about 20%, but now desktop only makes up about 40% of my internet activity.
What sane mega-corp would sit there and say "well, we still dominate the desktop 40% so lets not worry about the other 60% that is now consumed by related products."
Computing is moving to mobile doesn't mean the mobile use has to come from cannibalization.
