    define “console.” I daresay that the phrase “console” exists largely to mislead consumers into the expectation that they can’t sideload apps and games onto their own device. Near as I can see, that’s the only real difference. But I can sideload onto my hacked 3DS and switch, are they not consoles anymore? I can run android and linux on the switch too.

          Could you have made it any more obvious you didnt read it? They dont mention console at all because its not.

            It says ...and it's a PC as a header. What do you think is the part that is implied before the ellipsis? This is clearly to complement the reader’s view of this being a gaming device (i.e. a console).

              It’s ok to admit you are wrong, I know you won’t but I need you to know that it’s ok. Thats how we learn.

                I have a good history of admitting I’m wrong online. I do so freely and frequently. In this case I don’t believe I am wrong, so I will not.

                GabeCube is a console and a PC.

                You do realize this is just semantics right.
