A console is a device with unified specifications (i.e. every Wii sold has the same processing power) specifically made to play video games, either as sole or primary purpose. PCs and cell phones are not consoles.

Who said it had to primarily be used for gaming? If that were the case, would the ps3's that were bought by some (albeit a small minority) primarily for bluray, not consoles? The same for the ps2? If that is your current definition for consoles, soon, we may never see consoles ever again, as our devices become more focused on multimedia.

Whoa there, I chose my words carefully. I said "made for", not "used for". If I said the latter, then one could argue that a gaming PC is a console (which it isn't). The PS3 may be able to Blu-ray movies, but it was made to play video games first and foremost.

Whoops, misread your post. Some pcs are made specifically for gaming though, right? Wouldn't that make them consoles, or are you saying that they have to have both unified specs and be made to game? Also, there is only one way to find out if a "console" was made to be used as a gaming device, ask the people who made it. For all we know, the Wii could have been made primarily for the photo channel lol.
