    Consoles are usually just weird, cheap, locked down, underpowered pcs, that only play certain brands/formats of games, and have unique cases, lol.

    It basically means ‘thing that is (usually) for your living room what plays video games and such’.

      Yeah, that was the point of my joke. I was just having a giggle at someone referring to it as a console. The truth in the jest - I do stand by “Steam Deck is a PC proper.” I certainly wouldn’t have bought mine if it was anything less.
