PC gamers can play some console games using a controller. Therefore PC can be considered a console?

Sure why not? Its just considered a different market. And usually people dont buy $300 PC’s for gaming. So its usually at a different price point which makes it non competitive with consoles. But if you want to call it a console you can.

Sure I could, but a world where anyone can call anything whatever they want, and they actually do, is a world of complete nonsense and chaos. My point was that it's not as simple as one item that makes a device what is it. Just because I used performance as an example in my prior post, doesn't mean it's the only factor. Obviously if the gaming device doesn't have a screen, or battery, it's pretty tough to consider it a handheld or hybrid, which would leave it being console or PC. Technicalities like a small controller screen or mobo bat don't count. Considering a console is an internally fixed device (minus the mass storage) and PC is not, you can define them fairly easily and it simply makes things much easier this way.
