One must be able to buy games for it to be a console. Hyperscan is a console. Atari 2600 does not emulate games, it has arcade ports of games which is completely from emulation. When everything goes digital, you can still buy games, which means it's still a console. The mini-consoles are not real consoles, they're plug-and-plays. Fair enough. I buy that for a dollar.

If the PS1 mini was that cheap, I'd buy 2.

I like how you think I'm super rich when I'm just a student with a part time job and a great summerjob. I personally think I'm well off compared to being a student, but I'm not close to owning a house or a condo. I appreciate the wealth I have accumulated, but for the record, I have worked my ass off to get it too. And I have had my share of low paying jobs.

I guess I was wrong, fake Discover Channel here told us once coal was huge in Scandinavia, now looking it up, it is not at all. However according to Wikipedia you guys are massively rich, and I remember you saying you were an engineer already, not just a student. I think I even recall you claiming having a nice sound system, a Neo Geo, even a Steel Battalion controller, that you did lan parties in your basement, etc., which made me assume your house was dope. So you telling me you can't afford a plug & play made in China sounded odd.

So you telling me you can't afford a plug & play made in China sounded odd. Full disclosure, I never said I was an engineer, I've always said I was studying to become one. But since that I've changed my study. Now I'm studying to become a math and English teacher. I've said that I've studied English and American literature, culture and history, but never specified why. I do have a really nice sound system (kind of old pictures, I've moved stuff around since then and bought a new TV, but the stereo is the same: imgur.com/a/ZOmAG). I lived in my parents' basement condo and had a lot of LAN parties there, but I moved out 4 years ago to study at university, but I still throw LAN parties in that condo from time to time when I'm visiting my home city. I also own a Neo-Geo and the Steel Battalion controller. They weren't exactly cheap, but not savings ruining either.
As for the PS1 mini; it's not that I can't afford it, it's just that I don't have much room for more stuff anymore. I own more than 20 consoles, and I'm trying to get rid of some of them. I've sold my Master System, and I'm going to sell my spare Saturn, spare Genesis, spare OG Xbox and my IntelliVision. I simply don't have time to play them all, and I rather have someone else enjoy them.
As for being a "super rich" country. It's not that everyone is rich. I'd like to think most Norwegians can live comfortably without having to resort to getting a 2nd job, and just work the standard of 37.5 hours a week to feed a family.

Norway is rich because of their oil industry.
They're literally the oil sheiks of Scandinavia.

Balder, if the PlayStation Classic came with 20 games, but it allowed you to buy other PS1 classics through USB and the PSN, would you still consider it plug & play?

It would be better, yes, but it doesn't have any exclusives, just games that has been available for more than 20 years. You're essentially just paying for emulation.

We covered this with the 2600 example, and the Wii Mini. If that option was available it could very well be a newer iteration of the console, and according to the previous definition you provide it would make it a console, and not just plug & play. But I buy for a buck the plug & play notion simply because that option is only available for free through hacking.
