[QUOTE="DaniPoo, post: 10213387, member: 320615"] Well I am actually not entirely sure about the definition of a gaming console, I think I am leaning in the direction that a game console is a system running it's own software and games. Do I think a streaming device could be a game console? well maybe yes. Imagine something like if Google Stadia had bunch of exclusive titles and the service was only accessible on their own handheld device. Yes I think that would qualify as a game console. But would it be the streaming servers that is the console, the handheld client or the combination of the two? I am not so sure. I think it would make most sense to call the servers the actual console as that is where the computation is happening. That's why I am not sure it qualifies as a handheld video game console. However, I can say that I am certain that it's a handheld video game device (Which is a much broader term). Look up the word console for definitions and it gets confusing. "an electronic system that connects to a display (as a TV set) and is used to play video games" "a panel or cabinet with dials and switches for controlling an electronic or mechanical device" "a [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/surface']surface[/URL] or [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/device']device[/URL] with [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/controls']controls[/URL] for [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/electronic']electronic[/URL][URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/equipment']equipment[/URL], a [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/vehicle']vehicle[/URL], etc.:" "a [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/piece']piece[/URL] of [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/electronic']electronic[/URL] [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/equipment']equipment[/URL] for [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/card']playing[/URL] [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/computer']computer[/URL][URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/games']games[/URL]" "Also called game(s) console, gaming console, video game console . a computer system specially made for playing video games by connecting it to a television or other display for video and sound." None of these definitions specifically mentions where the computation needs to happen. Just that it's is used to play videogames. So are you right in that this qualifies as a handheld game console? Well maybe, I am not entirely sure. I think we need new and more clear definitions of this. [/QUOTE]
