soft·ware/ˈsôftˌwe(ə)r/

Noun:
The programs and other operating information used by a computer.

 

I'm not modifying any definition. Just because you misinterpreted my comment doesn't give you the right to belittle me and cause an argument.

 

I said by developers so i mean the definition in gaming, not in dictionary, it's a gaming thread. XD

Either way games are read and understood by a computer (the console's motherboard and components). Normally when you mean "User Interface, features, online play, friends system, online browser."  You call that the operating system or the system software. Games are software, just a different category of it ;). That why they call it HW, SW totals on VG chartz.

I know what you mean, I was acknowledging games as "software". In my original comment, I talked about the 3DS's games and then I started talking about the system itself which is where I referred to the "software", I thought I had made myself clear.

It's just after I told him he had misinterpreted my comment he just tried to make an argument out of it and added unnecessary "facepalm's".
