*Portable* Console



Because: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console

Still a console. It's like separating Laptops from Desktop PC's.

I never considered handhelds and consoles the same. It's different market.

It's more like comparing a Mac with a Ipod.

Technically , they are consoles with their own screen and power source....so they are consoles just portable.

And that analogy is horrendous...a mac is a fully functional computer while the Ipod/touch is just a multimedia device.....the Ipod/touch cant do all the things a mac can do.

The DS can play games.....just like the rest of the home consoles.

Going by your logic, we should consider the Tamagotchi as a console.

Except you missed two incredibly important words in his statement and went straight for the last line.

"fully functional".

I'd like you to come up with a single gaming feature that ANY home console offers that the DS can't.

Controllers, motion controls, downloadable content, local multiplayer, great graphics and so on. There's a lot of difference.

But a console is not only for games you see. I personally bought my PS3 for the blu-ray at first which shows it might appeal to a different market while handhelds are exclusively for gaming on the go.

It has buttons (), Really?,  DSiWare or PSN, Never played a Pokemon game?, DS & PSP can produce "great" graphics.

The PSP can view photos, play movies & music and can browse the web.

Colors FTW

But just so you know before, I was only talking about the DS since that's what he asked.

 

Yeah but I love analog sticks (mostly for shooters)

Ok motion controls are not that important but still, it can't do it!

I hate DLC anyway :P

I was talking about Splitscreen (I like to cheat by looking at their screens)

Yeah I was talking about the DS.

 

It's so easier with colors.
