Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game 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.

        I count it as a handheld because every switch can be used as a handheld, while not every switch can be used as a home console.

        It’s like calling a phone that you can plug into a monitor with peripherals a “desktop”
