it's also a great win for AMD, in general, to provide the hardware behind the two biggest consoles on the market for two consecutive (and a third upcoming) console generations.

Doesn't the Switch have as much market share as the other two combined?

Does it count as a console?

I really don’t know, I guess you could say handheld gaming console, but consoles have to hook up to something.

I’ve always heard it as consoles are static and portables are called handheld gaming systems

Per Wikipedia, yes. A game console is the general term. A home console is the one that plugs into a tv, and a handheld console is something like a switch.

In that case isn't the DS the best selling console of that gen?

I’m nitpicking, I know, but to be infamous is a bad thing. It’s more likely the author meant prestigious or esteemed.

The cell processor is infamous for making the PS3 notoriously difficult to develop for.
