If you have a computer dedicated to games, then it's a gaming console. Get over it.
Ok, Amigas are not dedicated game rigs. You can do 3d modeling, 2d graphics, video editing, music development, programing, etc etc etc. Console..... just play games. I am on irc at the moment on my amiga 3000 while listening to mod files and downloading files off of aminet all at the same time.
I agree. But if you only played games on the Amiga, what would it be?
It's certainly not a console in the strictest sense. It's dependent on the user.
But I'm still not apologizing for the word I chose.
Still a computer if all you use it for is twitter and facebook nowadays? or is it a social media delivery device?
The Amiga was used by creative people and professional studios.
It was most famous by the consumer market as a gaming machine, that's what made its success, but piracy and lack of serious management from Commodore killed it.
