To me, all electonics machines that are mainly used to play are consoles. At least in my first language, so I will say the DS is a console because it sounds natural for me.

And yes, the "handhelds" can compete with the "living-room consoles". I think that the DS took the PS2 spot in Japan quite clearly. She became the main hardware to work on and support in that country.

Interesting, so why don't people say that Japan is "Consoles", versus saying Japan is "Handhelds"? They aren't the exact same market people, they just aren't...

The Gameboy wasn't a NES, the Game Gear wasn't a Genesis, and the PSP and DS aren't a PS3 and a Wii. They are NOT the same market, although they're all a part of the same industry. That's like saying the PS3 and Wii sell to the same people, but they don't.

Just to be deliberately awkward the Game Gear was a Master System, a console.

You're still right though.
