Oh no you didn't.

    •  

    So my question to you is, did you lie and change the definition in your post, or was the definition changed in the time between when you posted, and when I just looked it up, because....number 5.....don't say what you claimed it did.

    However, it is Wikipedia, and so even if it did change, you are still at fault for trying to post infomration on that site as evidence as to your opinion.

    So by that logic, I also like number 5 because it agrees with me, saying that "handhelds" are actually handheld videogame consoles, so wtf bro? How and why did it change, and did it ever say what you claimed it did in the first place?

    I think Maxwell did some stealth editing.


    lol, THAT is the danger of using wikipedia as a source for definitions. Somebody can just freakin' change it.


    What if we try this....

    console 2 (con·sole)
     
    Pronunciation:/ˈkänËŒsōl/
    noun
    • 1 a panel or unit accommodating a set of controls for electronic or mechanical equipment 
    • (also games console) a small electronic device for playing computerized video games
    • a cabinet for television or radio equipment
    • the cabinet or enclosure containing the keyboards, stops , pedals, etc., of an organ
    • a monitor and keyboard in a multiuser computer system
    • 2 an ornamented bracket with scrolls or corbel supporting a cornice, shelf, or tabletop
    • 3 a support between the seats of an automobile that has indentations for holding small items

     

    From Oxford dictionaries online, that should be more reliable than wikipedia. http://oxforddictionaries.com/view/entry/m_en_us1235495?rskey=3aD3GW&result=2#m_en_us1235495

    Although that creates a new discussion, is the PS3 Phat small enough to be considered a console? :)

    The PS3 pobably is. The CDi on the other hand...
