Why did you ignore the word in front of the word you underlined? Obviously the word in front is the descriptive word that specifies what we are talking about. There is obvious distinction between words that have the same name.

Why did you assume that I ignored the "Handheld" part of that? It's quite obvious that Handheld Consoles and Home Consoles have differences, this is why the word in front of "Console" is descriptive. Does this mean that we can't compare the two? Absolutelty not. And anyone who says that these two things are completely different is completely wrong.


Well if you are going to be so merrily vague on descriptions then surely you are comparing the iphone to the 360 right? But why stop there?? Why not compare consoles to dvd players?? Hey, handhelds are rechargable right? Well so are RC cars! Let's compare the two!

When the markets are different, thats when the products are different. Being as vague as you are just leads to the mess above as you will have to use completely arbitrary distinctions to seperate items.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handheld_game_consoles


"A handheld video game console is a lightweight, portable electronic device with a built-in screen, game controls, speakers and replaceable and/or rechargeable batteries or battery pack. Handheld game consoles are smaller than home video game consoles and contain the console, screen, speakers, and controls in one unit, allowing people to carry them and play them at any time or place."

Will that do?
