| Zkuq said: Just for the sake of simplicity, I think they shouldn't be considered consoles. What I mean is that by definition, they definitely are consoles but usually when we're discussion 'console sales', we mean home consoles, not all consoles. Then there's always the one smartass who doesn't understand the actual meaning. The same goes for PS3/360 comparisons when someone wants to tell how Wii is first and the HD consoles are still so far behind. True, but usually completely irrevelant to the topic at hand. |
so if they are by definition consoles(of course they are, being able to move something around does not change the entire nature of the object, IE a car with no wheels is still a car), then why must we adhere to the whims of those who are too lazy to specify which subset of console(home or portable) gaming they are discussing.
I love gaming, and portable gaming is no less important or entertaining than home gaming, and I don't like the implication of not calling the consoles, consoles. It seems like a ploy to marginalize that specific type of console and de-emphasize its importance..
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
