console gamer

PlayStation or Xbox

A console gamer plays video games primarily on dedicated gaming consoles like PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, rather than on personal computers or mobile devices.

The term often carries identity implications—console gamers and PC gamers sometimes clash over which platform is superior: I'm a console gamer, so I don't care about graphics card specs.
