Well id say android is a gaming system because of all the android games. Not cause of emulation.

You could objectively say that most (but definitely not all) android games aren't really of console quality though. Hence emulating actual console games.

They're still a gaming platform even if half of the games are either ports or just plain trash. There's definitely an amount of the potential market for console (handheld at least) sales that have been lost to android.

Definitely, but a lot of those handheld android devices are used for emulation.

Sure, but most of them are used for games made for (or at least ported to) Android.
