Portable Consoles

Portable consoles are handheld gaming devices specifically designed for playing video games on the go. Unlike traditional home consoles, which require a television and are typically stationary, portable consoles integrate all necessary components for gaming, including a screen, controls, and processing hardware, within a compact form factor that is easy to carry. They often feature rechargeable batteries, allowing for play without a direct power source and enabling users to enjoy gaming during travel or at locations away from home. Examples of portable consoles include the Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP), and the Sega Game Gear. These devices can support a variety of game genres, and many have online connectivity for multiplayer gaming and digital game downloads, further enhancing their functionality and appeal.
