console gaming
Television-based play
Console gaming is playing video games on dedicated hardware systems—PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo—rather than on computers or mobile devices.
The term distinguishes this from PC gaming and mobile gaming: I prefer console gaming because I can just sit on the couch with a controller.
Console gamers often debate which platform offers the best experience.
