I wanna know your guys opinion on this. Yea PC worldwide is definitely more popular than any console in history. But there are so many different iterations PCs to group them all together as being the same singular home computer to compare it to the PS2 which sold 159 Million using the exact same hardware specs

The Bestselling singular PC of all time at least known is the commodore 64 with 30 Million Units.

I can't think of any other singular unit home computer device that has sold more than the PS2, but what do you guys think?

It is not a computer... So I voted no.
Not in the context of devices for gaming, at least. I mean, you may want to come with an official definition of what is a computer, but when you talk to people in general about a computer and console, they clearly make a distinction between the 2. So I'm not sure what is the point of trying to call it a "computer". It is a gaming console, a Mac/PC is a computer (again,for the day to day / average / casual / majority of people). And especially if you add "home" in front, it makes it even weirder (or out of place) to call the Play Station 2 a computer...

Just look at every gaming website, they clearly ALWAYS categorize the PC as a "computer" and the console as .. well.. Consoles.

Here is an example: Gaming PC vs. Console: Which Should You Buy in 2024? - IGN

It is the best-selling home gaming console of all time.
