Handhelds are not Consoles..

[goddog]

its home console
and handheld
... ive always considered them in very different categories...
to me putting them to gather is like including pcs in the home console category...
its always bothered me just a bit when we consider the handhelds in the same generation/group on this site...

rant off topic
also just a smaller nit pick ive felt the dsi should be separate form the ds, due to the change in carts it can take, and that games made for it cant be played on the launch ds... if they made an add on for the launch ds that allowed it to play dis games, i might let my first grip slide,  but the two together bother me. killing part of the back catalog and forcing a system up date seem like a new console to me (i exclude perfieals from this move, eye toy, kintech, the nintendo card reader thing for hand helds all dont bother me)  … the 3ds to me should be counted as a separate system.  as should the 3ds & pspsgo… sorry for the rant just a weird thing ive been thinking about.

edit
to me its like the switch from game boy to game boy color, thats a switch  where it should be counted as different systems for sales for me. where the gameboy - gameboy, gameboypocket & gameboy light can all be counted together .. similar to the way one would count the ps1 versions, the ps2 versions, ps3 versions, and xbox 360 versions together
