What exactly is the difference between a console and a smart console?

I mean its pretty easy to understand what makes phones/watches/televisions "Smart", here is how a Smart device is defined on wikipedia.

"A smart device is an electronic device, generally connected to other devices or networks via different protocols such as Bluetooth, NFC, WiFi, 3G, etc., that can operate to some extent interactively and autonomously."

Aren't consoles technically already "Smart"?


I don't think that anyone goes to wikipedia when they think of any smart device. When a device is smart, it is indicative of a very specific brand UI experience, the likes of which is absolutely vacant on consoles.

So no, consoles are not already "smart."

I think you need to explain what a smart console is.... because smart watches/TV's are not particularly smart, they just allow connection to the internet/services.

I dont think telling people in Walmart that the console is a smart device is going to resonate at all... especially when most console devices have pretty much advanced services.
