Gaming consoles are dedicated systems optimized for game playing. Early consoles included the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972 and the Atari Pong home version in 1975. Common console components are controllers, a power supply, core unit with CPU and RAM, game media like cartridges or discs, and sometimes memory cards. Popular consoles include the PlayStation, Xbox, Wii, Nintendo DS, and PSP. Each has distinct controllers and hardware specifications. Portable handheld gaming devices like the Game Boy also emerged as a popular form of gaming.

5. DEFINITION A gaming console is a system that is exclusively dedicated for gaming. It has been optimized for game playing as that is its core function. We can ply games on a PC or in a cell phone but these are not systems dedicated for gaming, so they are not gaming consoles.
16. Power supply: a power supply converts 100-240 volt AC utility power into direct current (DC) at the voltages needed by the electronics.
17. Console/Core Unit: The core unit in a video game console is the hub where the television, video game controllers, and game program connect. It usually contains a CPU, RAM, and an audiovisual coprocessor. Core units are similar to towers of personal computers.
18. Game Media: Most video game consoles have their programs stored on external media. They are the ROM of consoles.
29. XBOX The console is a black box with a large “X” imprinted into the top. On paper, Xbox has more brute power and speed than any game console on the market.
37. NINTENDO Wii sounds like 'we', which emphasizes that the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii

52. HANDHELD GAME CONSOLE A handheld game console is a lightweight, portable device with a built-in screen, games controls and speakers. Handheld game consoles are run on machines of small size allowing people to carry them and play them at any time or place. Unlike video game consoles, the controls, screen and speakers are all part of a single unit.
58. Video Arcade Machine An video game arcade cabinet, also known as an video arcade machine or video coin-op, is the housing within which an video arcade game's hardware resides. Most cabinets designed since the mid-1980s conform to the JAMMA wiring standard. Some include additional connectors for features not included in the standard.
59. joysticks Joysticks pull off a really neat trick. They take something entirely physical -- the movement of your hand -- and translate it into something entirely mathematical -- a string of ones and zeros (the language of computers).
62. CONCLUSION On the whole, Gaming Consoles are the better option in the long run. They are designed for gaming. This has helped the industry understand the basic requirements of 3D and multimedia applications. Without a doubt, this will affect the designs of PCs in the future and make them more gamer friendly. Gaming is indeed heading in the direction of becoming a mainstream form of entertainment. Gaming experience drives technology requirements and in turn contributes to the growth of the IT industry.
