Console Browsers: The Ultimate Torture Test
summary
A survey-backed case: 86% of primary pupils own a TV console and 69% a handheld, only 10% have smartphones; 13% of UK adults use consoles to access the internet, 14% specifically browse, and 20% of 16–24-year-olds visit sites on consoles. Tests use HTML5/CSS3/Acid3 scores and real devices; toolchain examples include Kinect JS and depth.js for gesture in-browser and x-webkit-speech for voice input. Hardware notes: many consoles lack modern Flash or have old engines, while the Wii U browser scores high supports HTML5 video and mirrors GamePad and TV, making console browsers a harsh, revealing test of real-world sites.
