Do you think a game console is a toy?

You don't buy a Porsche to get from point A to point B for the minimum amount of fuel and the least cost.

All the things you mentioned are good enough in other cars. When a Porsche ups those things at the cost of fuel efficiency, it's for entertainement value. IE what a toy does.

There are SUV porsches, and a minority using something for a different reason doesn't change what the general object is, some people collecting guns and going to target ranges for entertainment doesnt make guns toys, they're still weapons.

A minority of car owners buying sports or super cars (because lets face it, such cars ARE a minority) doesn't turn a vehicle into a toy, it's still a mode of transport, it's still a tool to transport people from point A to point B.

By your logic, a banana isn't a fruit, it's a sex toy because a minority of people use it for that.

Give it to them Tachikoma, people love to split hairs & twist the reality to fit their opinion but the fact is a console is a toy, a high-tech toy that does things beyond gaming but it's main function is to be used as a toy.

Same goes for a car, it's a mean of transportation, some people develop racing cars & race them, making the driving a sport but it doesn't not change the nature of what a car is & it's primary function, even when racing to go from A to B!
