video game console
Television gaming system
A video game console is a dedicated electronic device designed primarily for playing video games on a television or monitor.
Unlike personal computers, consoles are single-purpose machines with standardized hardware, allowing game developers to optimize for specific specifications.
Major consoles include PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo systems.
Handheld consoles like the Game Boy and Nintendo Switch offer portable play.
We hooked up the new console to the living room TV.
