Doesn't the Switch have as much market share as the other two combined?
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
I can't believe this discussion is still happening
Is a laptop a PC? Tsk tsk
Per Wikipedia, yes. A game console is the general term. A home console is the one that plugs into a tv, and a handheld console is something like a switch.

In that case isn't the DS the best selling console of that gen?
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
