The act of creating a PC game which contains console game design concepts or gameplay offering more instant gratification. These design concepts include, but are not limited to the following:
-Unlockables
-Less customization features
-Very little control for multiplayer hosts
Consolization can often be a result of porting a console game to PC and may often be accompanied by sloppy optimization and widespread technical issues of all kinds.
It may also less literally mean "cheapened" or "simplified" and can, as such, sometimes be applied even to certain console games.
"Man, those games used to be awesome, but lately they've just been consolized."

The belief that one gaming console is better than another and therefore under no circumstance can be better or as good as that console. This belief usually continues to the games of that console and that even if a game is available for multiple consoles, the version of the console which the person believes to be better is better in all ways than the other console versions.
Person 1: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360 is better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the PlayStation 3 since the Xbox will always be better than the PlayStation 3.
Person 2: That is consolism.

Intolerance bred through fear, ignorance or a false sense of superiority specifically directed at those who play video games on consoles instead of PC.
Man... Chill out on the Consoleism, it's unnecessary .

A term invented by rabid PC enthusiasts to describe any game that isn't Baldur's Gate 2 and doesn't require spread-sheet style character management or which uses an accessible interface for gameplay. If the gameplay is easy to get into, PC enthusiasts will consider it rubbish and consolized, no matter how difficult the actual game might be.
Anybody not in agreement on a game being 'consolized' is considered inferior and will never be allowed into said PC enthusiast's battlestati-, err basement.
Clearly that game suffers from consolization, because even though it has won awards for most innovative gameplay, most involving story and best AI in a game, it displays a little text that tells you to press 'E' every time you want to open a door.

Consolences: like condolences but from someone close to you who is trying to console you. Someone who knows you too well to offer condolences when a sad thing happens.
A consolence can also be a non-verbal action. If someone gives a friend a hug as a form of consoling then they offer her consolence, which might elicit the reply "Thanks for the consolences".
E.g. My father offered me consolences when I dropped my slice of pizza in the dirt.

to make out in the front seats of a vehicle, yet with the inconvenience of a console getting in the way.
I was getting a little bit of consolation before he walked me to the door after our date.
