After that thread,let's make another similar....Are mobiles...phones?Or a phone is just a phone that is stable on a table,i.e a home phone?:P
Console,is a general term,In my language the word about it,is(I'll write it with latin characthers)paignidomihani(gamemachine)and before that we put home(oikiaki) or handheld(phoriti),these are epithets,unfortunately some people refer to home consoles,with the plain word''console'' and others refer to handheld consoles,with the plain word ''handhelds'' both are wrong,as I aforesaid handheld is an epithet and console(a device) is a general term,that needs these adjectives,home or handheld to be specialized/defined...
So,I answered(in a bizarre way,someone may say!)


Actually in terms of the phone argument, phone has become the term for mobile/cell phones while landline is now frequently the term used when the distinction needs to be made.
