my dad says the same thing about my PS3....



Hahaha.



Not sure why this guy felt the need to make a semi-comprehensible video of this... but...

Toy: something that serves for or as if for diversion, rather than for serious pratical use.

I think that aptly describes the Wii, and the Wii U. Or the 3DS, PSVita, PS3, PS4, XBox 360, and so on. I think that if you asked Miyamoto or Iwata, they'd be fine with the label toy. Video games are a diversion, and there really is nothing wrong with that. And, a toy with blood and guts is not any less a toy.

Because he's a cute gay guy that wanted to put himself out there....

Anyway, I always thought that "toy" by definition is something we play with. So that makes every game console technically a toy.

Because people are idiots basically..

Either all video games are toys are NONE of them are.. You can't have the double standard here.



Because they mean to demean it.
