    Does it count as a console?

    I really don’t know, I guess you could say handheld gaming console, but consoles have to hook up to something.

    I’ve always heard it as consoles are static and portables are called handheld gaming systems

          If you put them all (handheld, home, micro, and hybrid) into the same bucket then, yes.

          DS > Wii > PS3 > 360 > PSP > N-Gage > Ouya

          It also makes the DS the best selling console to launch in the 21st century.

            Kinda nuts that the least popular (of the big 3) device that gen sold like 80 million units. It’s no wonder everyone was scared of mobile by the end, you can see the impact it made.

            Also shows how the Switch was a clever move by Nintendo, getting a lot of that audience back
