Looking forward to when people recognize game consoles and general purpose computing devices that carry an LTE antennae are understood to be different classes of devices with vastly less competition.

> [...]with vastly less competition.

On consoles, as far as the majority of consumers are concerned, there’s three players: Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. On phones, there’s... Apple, Google, Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus, etc. Sure, it’s basically iOS and Android, but even then, it’s 3 for consoles and 2 for phones. So to say that phones have “vastly less competition” is simply disingenuous.

Apparently someone missed the news on PSP, PlayStation Vita, DS and Switch capabilities and ecosystems.

I can provide some learning materials to catch up with the world.
