I believe the term "console" only refers to home systems, such as Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox. Handhelds are different, since the output device is built-in. I'm not really sure. They're all systems, anywho.
Patrick_Stars, you seriously need to think before you type. Everything coming out of your mouth (or your posts) is crap.
You're the biggest fanboy of them all. You never even played Gamecube. You can't just judge a system without playing it.
Nintendo DS is the current leader in the handheld department, for me, and the worldwide figures say so, as well. Only a handful of PSP games are actually fun; Lumines and Syphon Filter. My favorite system would be PC. I can play most retro systems on it, which I adore. I don't have a NES, SNES, Genesis, or N64. On the PC, I can!
As for consoles, I would say Gamecube has the most fun titles. Xbox doesn't really have anything that interests me. Yes, I have played Halo. The multiplayer is fun for a while, but after that, it's really boring. Playstation2 has some great RPGs, I admit. But, it doesn't match up to its predecessor.
I am looking forward to Wii. Hopefully there will be another name change at E3? If the final secret is good enough, I'll continue looking forward to Wii. Otherwise, it's going to be PS3 (when all of the kinks seem to be worked out).
