No a home console is one that is connected to a TV and played with a seperate controller, hence how Switch is both a handheld & home console.

Nope. A home console just needs to be a console that can be played at home in your universe where a handheld just needs to be a console that can be played in your hands.

You're either literal with both or interpretive with both. You don't get to be one or the other.

Your logic is entirely flawed here.

"Every handheld must also be a home console because, well, you can play them all at home."

A handheld is a device that can be played in any location, just because you are playing it at home doesn't make it a "home console", you're trying to say him being literal in both senses is wrong, but he's saying the device is a handheld because it CAN be used in any location, not because it's necessarily being used outside the house.

His defintion of a handheld - "a device that can be carried around and played in your hands is a handheld."

Does not mean that his definiton of a home console has to be simply - "a device played at home."
