LOL No one is going to win this fight both sides will never agree, to me I personally consider my PC a console as it plays Video Games, at the same time I also consider my PS3 to be a computer because it was also designed to run Yellow dog. each to his own opinion

To me, this is the main point on which the debate should focus. Does the structural design of a PC imply its purpose or does its practical uses define its purpose? Going by the second definiton, some computers could be considered gaming consoles because that is what somebody primarily used it for. Honestly, I think there is merit in both definition, but I would lean towards design implying purpose although I do think the original design can be altered in such a way as to change purpose.
