I didn't say anywhere that they are called PAL games or NTSC games (or consoles for that matter), I said that PAL or NTSC is the region of the game. Of course they are video formats, I'm not sure why you think anyone doubts that or thinks that PAL and NTSC are strictly there for games. People use PAL and NTSC for the old consoles since that's the video format they use, do you really think they don't know it's just shorthand for being compatible with that format? You do realize that a game outputs in either PAL or NTSC for the older consoles, right? These video formats are associated with video games, just not strictly, they are associated with all non-HD content. Also, lots of non-HD games have the NTSC or PAL tag, either on the front cover or the back cover. Here's an example of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped for PSX: http://images.wikia.com/crashban/images/7/75/Crash_Bandicoot_Warped_Boxart.jpg .
So, just to be clear: I'm well aware that NTSC and PAL are a TV format and that they are only used on games to indicate what region's TVs the game will properly display on.
. Ok I get what you were saying. That's actually what I was trying to convey. It's just that sentence, the way you worded it that I'm having a hard time digesting. XD
