      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.

              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).

                  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.
