Game Consoles

Game consoles are electronic devices specifically designed for playing video games. They typically consist of hardware and software components that allow users to interact with video games, often connected to a television or display screen. Game consoles can be standalone units, like the PlayStation or Xbox, or portable devices, like the Nintendo Switch. They use specialized processors to run games and often include features such as online multiplayer capabilities, downloadable content, and multimedia functions like streaming services. Game consoles are distinct from personal computers and arcade machines, mainly due to their focus on delivering a gaming experience with dedicated controls such as gamepads or motion sensors.
