It has absolutely nothing to do with anyone being a moderator, any user, regardless of who they are cannot shut down another user who is discussing something.
Moderator abuse would be... If you know. I actually used my moderator powers to remove/shut down discussions/individuals outside of my scope of responsibility. (And that will never happen.)
But nice try turning it into something that it isn't.

Anyone can use any device as a "dedicated gaming device".
Either way, consoles are no longer dedicated gaming devices, we moved away from that during the 7th gen where consoles became media-centers.
And lastly... You don't have the authority to tell anyone to do anything.

You continue to gloss over the fact that I have stated "Dedicated Gaming Device" in every single one of my posts. Worse yet, you seem to think that Android and iPhones actually are dedicated gaming devices. Here's a visual guide to clear this up.
Examples of Dedicated Gaming Devices (Devices designed specifically for playing video games as their primary function):
   
Examples of Mobile Phones (Devices designed specifically as mobile phones as their primary function):
  
Mobile phones are not considered "dedicated gaming devices that can conveniently make phone calls". They are mobile phones first, that yes can do a wide range of other functions. When a mobile devices sells, we do not track it as a video game system sale, a calculator sale, a calendar sale, etc. It's a mobile phone.

Here is the kicker... And I know it's a shocker. But consoles these days come with a multitude of additional "features" like media players, web browsers, apps like Youtube/Netflix and more.
They aren't dedicated gaming devices and haven't been for years... It all comes down to how someone uses the device, if all they use the device for is gaming... Then by it's literal definition, it's a dedicated gaming device and thus the underlying form factor/operating system and/or technology is redundant.
Sorry for the late reply, had a few horrific jobs.

Prove that billions of people buy smart phones only to use for gaming.
|
That is like saying that you need to prove to prove that every single Playstation 2 was used for gaming and not as a DVD player.
However.
21% of Android and 23% of iOS app store downloads... Are games.
That's not insignificant.
Games also account for 43% of -all- smartphone use.
The number of active mobile gamers is estimated to be 2.2~ billion.

I think that empirically solidifies my position at this point at any rate.
