If the Wii U had full support from all the major 3rd parties, would it have competed with the PS4?

Oh no they are not consoles, they are not machines made with the only purpose to display and sell videogames, not at all.

They way some of you try to spin reality is just hilarious, now handhelds are not consoles, yeeeeah.

If you want, make a thread with a poll to see how many people considers handheld as consoles direct competitors.

 

I dont consider Handhelds as Consoles.

 

Two different worlds that should be compared with their direct competitors. Want to make a case of Nintendo handhelds? Mock wathever you want the PSP and Vita sales, but dont try to save the WiiU or whatever Nintendo console (home to make it clear for you) with the little brother in the 3DS.

 

Im done with derailing this thread. I just got unbanned today.

A handheld is not even a thing, is an adjective, an adjective of how is that console, a handheld console, there are tons of things that are handheld but not consoles. It doesn´t matter if they compete with homeconsoles at all, they are made specifically for playing videogames,  they make the brand stay relevant on the market, they sell a lot of games, they make a ton of profit, they have been a really big part of the gaming industry for a very long time, they are consoles in all senses.
