  Agreed, the steam deck belongs on this list or the switch doesn’t.

    The steam deck has unfortunately sold a tiny fraction of the sales of the consoles listed in the image. I can’t find any exact numbers but the steam deck has sold between 4 to 6 million units.

      More than things like the Phillips CD-i which makes the Wikipedia list, so they’re at least distinguishing between consoles and PCs

  Handhelds aren’t technically consoles.

    Wikipedia seems to think they are. I’ve seen “home consoles” used when you want to exclude handhelds, what makes you say that they’re technically not consoles?

      Plus the Switch is a handheld, which makes it a weird distinction to make.

        The Siwtch is not a handheld, unless you count the Switch Lite into those sales. You can perfectly use a Switch as a home console.
