It hasn't beat the 3DS, which is a console.



No, no it's not. It's a platform, not a console. It does not meet the requirements to be considered a console. It is a hand held gaming device.

Yes, yes it is a console.

Dictionary definition:

Game Console

Noun

An electronic device for playing video games, usually requiring connection to a television; also written games console.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/game+console

Fits this definition exactly.

Are you competing with TheDrill for the most ridiculous and absurd thing ever said in these forums? If so you are giving em a run for his money. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/console A 3ds does not connect to a television set. It cannot be considered a console. Please learn English, at the very least learn something about gaming. Then perhaps you can avoid embarrassing yourself in the future.

The 3ds has a display which it is permanently affixed to. Lol. (In parenthesis in the dictionary just means an example, it does not have to hook up to a tv.)

Please learn to comprehend what is written in the dictionary.

You are fully aware that 9/10 times people are refering to home consoles when they use the term "consoles". Just like people use handhelds to refer to the 3DS and Vita (as oppossed to cell phones and tablets  which are also handhelds by definition)



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I was taking it for what the topic is. 3DS is a console, and it is easily winning the war so far.

Because they didn't do as much wrong as Microsoft and Nintendo.


This is the only statement that is needed, because it's as simple as that. If not for Microsoft's and Nintendo's mistakes Sony would not be in the lead this generation. 


Of course they would. They would easily win in Europe and in Japan they really sell consoles unlike MS. Also I still assume Sony sells Playstation in more countries than MS (and perhaps Nintendo) does. So it would come down to US and UK and I doubt there would be such a big difference to compensate the sales from other countries/regions. But I guess the competition would be better and the sales-split not as big as it is now.

Which means it cannot be considered a console... Again reading is not your strong point is it? (as a television set) is the 3ds display a television set? No? Then it's not a console... English.. Learn it. Quit embarrassing yourself. Tho I honestly hope you continue to do so as it creates hilarious copy-pasta for the Internet's consumption.

It's you who needs to learn how to read a dictionary as you have ignored the requirement for television in every single dictionary definition. Thanks for the stealth edits and copy pasta tho. You really do make it an art form.

A television is not a requirement. It's an example of a display. Lol.
