They arent consoles

A home 'console' and handheld' console' are still both gaming consoles. They do the exact same thing as each other, the only difference is the size of the screen, but now the Switch since you can do that too shows this more than ever.

A game console is a piece of hardware that is designed first and for most to dedicatedly play gaming software.

If they're not consoles then why do litterally have 'consoles' in the name.

Most people in this thread understand that we're talking about home consoles. Most people in the gaming world (including casials) understand that when someone uses the words "console" or "video game console", they mean home consoles. it doesn't need to be said except when people like you use the word "console" as a loophole to bring up handhelds when we're obviously not talking about them. Only on forums do I ever see people argue over what "console" means. In the real world, people are on the same page on this.
