gaming console
TV game system
A gaming console is a dedicated electronic device designed primarily for playing video games, typically connected to a television or monitor.
Unlike personal computers, consoles are specialized hardware optimized for gaming: PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch.
Handheld consoles like the Game Boy or Switch in portable mode don't need a separate display.
The term distinguishes these devices from gaming PCs and arcade machines.
