alt Hacker NewsThis strikes at the root of the Biggest Controversy™ - if you beat a video game arcade cabinet on an emulator, did you beat it?
Things can be named analogously - if I have a machine that plays Wii games for me, and nothing else, I'll call it "the Wii".

Yes for the purposes of your own personal sense of achievement, no for the purposes of speedrun records.
I have an old PSP that has only ever been used to play emulated NES games.
Shall I call it an NES?
