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."

No, most people don't check Wikipedia when they want to find out if something is smart, I just did that to make sure there wasn't some extra defining feature required to be considered "Smart".
Difference between a TV/phone/watch and their "Smart" counterparts is easily recognized as being able to connect to the internet and has apps, things that consoles already have.
