Actually VGC is the first place there I see that people made the distinction. And pokoko is right, the term console is much older than even home consoles, therefore in the past the term gaming console was used to differentiate it from other consoles. Maybe I'm just too old and rememer things and that isn't cool anymore in the 21st century. |
Lots of video game media just use console and handhelds. It's an a abbreviation just like how we drop game our video game out if it. Some people aren't happy with it and cause a ruckus instead of reading the context when people use console instead of home console, but they need to accept that console is a commonly accepted abbreviation for home video game console or home console.
