Check out the numbers from The Economist:

The number of desktops has been flat for last 7 years. The growth in the
smartphone/tablet area dwarfs 'what we normally call computers'.
Note that all the numbers where smartphones/tablets 'dwarf what we
normally call computers' are, in fact, projections. In the numbers which
actually exist, tablets/smartphones have only just caught up with
computers.
