lol, it's kinda of hilarious. I swear to some people if Nintendo made clothes they could say this: Is a men's t-shirt and some people would say "yeah I guess it is, I mean it's just longer, but it's still a t-shirt that a man would wear". |
I wasn't going to return to this thread but you made me lol
A far more accurate analogy would be a jacket which comes with an attachable and detachable hood. And we're in here arguing whether it's a plain jacket or a hooded jacket. It's both/either depending on how you use it.
No one has said the NS is not a tablet, it's both a tablet and a home console. Function is literally how we determine what technology is, one of the NS primary functions is to sit in your living room, removed from your hands, no longer functional as a tablet or handheld, docked, restricted to a power supply, outputting to your TV for couch gaming experiences. Yes there are several devices which can do similar things which aren't referred to as hybrids and that's because they don't do that job well, aren't designed around it being a primary function and are not marketed with that function in mind. This is why many streaming boxes are not referred to as home consoles despite literally being home bound, dedicated computing devices which allow to play games on your tv.
