Do you think a game console is a toy?

people get butt hurt when someone called their video game console a toy?

Yes. Since they can't find a good argument that take off the label of "toy", they start saying that other "cool" things are toys too

Hey, I'm not the one putting forward the argument that if you simply enjoy or it provides you with entertainment, then it is a toy. Can't have your cake and eat it too. If it's simply a matter of being entertained by something, then any and everything is a "toy".

I've answered with a "good argument" for why it's not a toy. A console isn't just meant to be "played with", like toys are. But then, I'm told that because you can play Angry Birds on your phone, your phone is a toy. So, by extension, other "cool things" have to be toys as well. I don't say that because I can't find an argument to take the label "toy" off consoles. I say it because you guys are stretching the definition of "toy" to call a console one, but that definition ends up being so far reaching that you can name anything else to be a "toy"
