Someone picked a fight with Sothy? What a n00b! Why aren't you licking his boots, fool? He may be rough around the edges, but he can go in your base and kill your d00dz.
It's obviously a handheld.

You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?

This is actually quite laughable. OMG!!one11eleven..etc...
The DS is a handheld games system/console. Whatever.
If a system's primary power source is mains electric, and it uses your Telly for a display then it's a home machine. If it has it's own display but uses mains electric, it's a portable (i.e - PCE LT). If it uses batteries as its primary power source, (and has its own display) then it's a handheld.
Interestingly though, what would you class the GP2X as then? It can plug into your TV via S-Vid and you can use an external USB pad. Heh, let the confusion begin.
Well it was marketed as being portable.Originally Posted by Jibbajaba
Unfortunately, by your definition, the Vectrex is a handheld.

Hmm.
Wikipedia is user-contributed, so it can be wrong sometimes. I still think that handhelds can't also be consoles. That's all I have to say about that.
Ds is a Handheld. I think some people hired by game publication don't have clue what a handheld is. I recalled on a 10 greatest consoles of alltime gameboy was mentioned.
Ds is handheld because you can play it anywhere compare to a game console. A game Console is something you need a tv for. A ds is as much as a handheld a Psp is.
My brother and I grow up with tiger handhelds in the late 80's. There is no different between a tiger handheld and a ds except for graphics, ds is able to play more then one game without bying more ds handhelds unlike tiger. A tiger handheld game in the late 80's and early 90's was like a pong system. A pong system was a game console. Systems like the 2600 brought new meaning to it. The ds, Gameboy, and Psp brought a new meaning to handheld.
There is not such a beast called a handheld console.
Anything that is portable and runs on batteries in handheld. To call it a console because you can play more then one game on it is not accurate. A ds has the same foundation base a tiger held in buttons with improvements.
This reminds me of the wendys commerical that 2 people made up terms like foon instead of spoon, created the word socrid instead of solid.
Allright how about "If it comes with a built in monitor and it's main primary source is batteries it's a handheld" How many batts did the Vectrex take?Unfortunately, by your definition, the Vectrex is a handheld.

Sounds like a good idea for a mod.
I think the people have spoken JJ.
Cry your tears of shame yesssssss.
Ah well the debate yet rages....
<vectorman> all handhelds are consoles, but consoles are not handhelds
<vectorman> sort of like squares and rectangles
<Sothy> except not like that at all
<NE146> so my game and watch is a console?
<@Carey85> I-75 is the second busiest freeway in the country behind I-95

hey guys, my conscience spoke to me. He says that classification debates are lame in general. I think I'm going to listen this time.
Re: console handheld?
I agree that it is a handheld, but do we really need the language here (language, as in demeaning language). This is one of the reasons that I personally am getting sick of on the DP board. I think your an okay person Sothy, but lighten up and deal with it. SOme people have their 'own' opinion - even if it doesn't follow the mainstream!
But debate on if you want, it's a show for now...
Personally - I think a forum MOD should lock this darn thing. MOD anyone!? Never find one when you need one...
Re: console handheld?
There is no reason for this to be locked...... Yet. There is some valuable discussion going on here.I agree that it is a handheld, but do we really need the language here (language, as in demeaning language).

A system dedicated to playing video games. This does not include PCs or hand-helds.

For me, console is synonymous with system...I consider the Nintendo DS a handheld console, just as I would call it a handheld system.
I'm always looking for new boxed NES accessories. If you've got any for sale, shoot me a PM!

Well ya it is entertainment.
It isnt like I just started flaming someone I dont know about a difference of opinion.
Me and JJ are friends. That is the difference between trolling and good natured rivalry. I assume that most of the mods know this?
Not that I dont enjoy JJ getting pwned by my poll.

You do realize, that that's the exact same Google search that started this rivalry? If you had the common sense to read all of the definitions before posting the link that proves you wrong, you would of seen that most of the definitions follow the lines of "an interface consisting of instruments to control actions or character models."
If you read all of the definitions on the Google results page, you would of seen that the definitions supporting it as a console, far outweigh the one result stating "this does not include handhelds."
Please people. At least if you are going to be a smart ass about your answer, don't post links to sites that grossly contradict your opinion. K'thanks.
"hand-held console"?
heres a few hand held consoles
