Gaming Consoles
A gaming console is a specialized electronic device for playing video games, connecting to a TV or monitor and using controllers for input, offering simpler, plug-and-play entertainment compared to PCs, with major types including powerful home consoles (PlayStation, Xbox), portable handhelds (Nintendo Switch, Game Boy), and hybrid models that blend both. They act as dedicated multimedia computers with uniform hardware, making game development consistent, and have evolved through generations with improving graphics, processing power, and digital distribution.
