PC
XBox 360
Wii
PSP (two of these, one is broken)
DS lite (not mine)
DSi (one is mine, but it's broken)
3DS

if you consider the xbox one or any xbox or playstation that can use the internet a gaming console, you can qualify a pc made for gaming as a gaming console.
"A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or customized computer system that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game." is the wikipedia definition of gaming console. please tell me how a computer made for gaming cannot produce a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game.
well said

Xbox 360, DS and PC.
I don't even use the first two and I can't afford any other consoles at the moment (neither can my family) but being stuck with the PC is great anyways, I love it :)


Regarding the "Is a PC a gaming console?":
PC is a smartphone for another set of words.

A smartphone can combine phone, calendar, clock, camera...
Would you call a smartphone a normal landline phone, then?

PC can combine gaming, documents, calendar... pretty much the above...
Gaming is a attribute given to gaming consoles. Would you be able to call it a gaming console, then?

It shares the attribute, emerging and combining it. But I wouldn't call it a gaming console. Maybe like a smart console.
But under it's terms, you can definitely say it's used for gaming.

how about this, i will change the name to "list your gaming systems" and you can say pc, ipad, kindle, or any other device that you can play games on.
