A '''console''' is an electronic device that outputs a video signal or image to display a video game that can typically be played with a game controller. These may be home consoles, which are generally placed in a permanent location connected to a television or other display devices and controlled with a separate game controller, or handheld consoles, which include their own display unit and controller functions built into the unit and which can be played anywhere. Hybrid consoles combine elements of both home and handheld consoles. Lets see how want it for this much consoles.

|Released in time for the 2005 Holiday season, the Ion is basically a PS2 Eye-Toy turned into an edutainment console for preschoolers. At the time, the Ion had been turning heads at toy fairs, hype had been building, and the console had been looking to be a real hit for Hasbro, but for whatever reason, the console flopped and disappeared into obscurity faster than the refunds could be made. It's unknown how many games were made for it, how many units sold or when it was discontinued.

|Released in November of 1999 by the Interactive Learning Group, the Video Buddy is a VHS-based console designed for children aged 3 to 7 years old and had about 20 games released for it. A revision of the Video Buddy that used DVDs instead of VHSs was released in 2003, and while both versions had initially been successful, a crowded "children" console market led to its downfall. The other company that made the DVD-based console shut down in 2006. It's unknown how many units were sold.

The console flopped thanks to its high price tag of 39,800 Yen (about $600 when adjusted for inflation), the size of the device, and the fact that all six launch titles were slightly different versions of Go.

|The Leapster Learning Game System (Released in late 2003) is an educational handheld game console aimed at 4 to 10-year-olds (preschool to fourth grade), made by LeapFrog Enterprises. Its games teach the alphabet, phonics, basic arithmetical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), art, and animal facts to players. It featured a touchscreen and games from various licenses from Thomas & Friends to Sonic X. Its software seems to be based on Macromedia Flash. Oddly enough, its successors, i.e. the Didj, Leapster Explorer, and LeapPad series of tablets, which run on the Pollux and NXP3200 platforms (along with a customized Linux distribution), have decent homebrew scenes, including even some emulators.

|Released by Soundic in 1983, the SD-290 was designed to undercut the competition, but its lack of compelling games and dated hardware drove customers away from it. Only 11 of the 16 games planned for the system were released. It's unknown how many units were sold or when it was discontinued. Furthermore, it's important to note that Soundic sold SD-290 motherboards to various companies to rebrand them as their own consoles. Excluding the original console, there were five versions of this system are known to have existed so far, these include:

*Soundic Soundicvision SD-200
*Hanimex HMG-7900
*Rollet Video-Color
*JouéClub SD-290
*ITMC SD-290

With the exception of the SD-200 (no one seems know where it was released), all of them were only released in France.

|A fitness-based system employing the usage of motion controls in an effort to get players off of the couch - beating Nintendo's [[Wii_emulators|Wii]] by more than 2 years! Each game cart came with a dedicated controller and an own CPU (not in the system, similarly to Super FX chips in some SNES carts or Sega Virtual Processor in Genesis' Virtua Racing). The XaviXPORT was actually developed by eight of the engineers who worked on the original development of the [[Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators|NES]]. An upgraded version with a 16-bit "Super XaviX" CPU compared to the original 8-bit CPU came in 2005. Also of note is the fact that Jackie Chan partnered with SSD Company Limited in order to bring his likeness to the console, which resulted in two licensed games. [https://mamedev.emulab.it/haze David Haywood] is particularly working on reverse-engineering the XaviX technology for MAME.

|The most well-known Famiclone, sold in Russia by Steepler, outselling the official PAL model NES (not officially imported at all). In technical details, it's basically the same as an NTSC-J Famicom running at 50Hz + SECAM colour mode, with the correct audio pitch (unlike the PAL NES which has a bunch of other changes to the CPU and PPU that break timing-sensitive games). [https://forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.php?t=20931 This thread on nesdev] explains more.

The main reason to use this over NTSC would be if some pirate game targeted PAL Famiclones, other than that there's hardly much difference to it than running in NTSC unless you're nostalgic for the unoptimised slowed-down versions from pirate multicarts.

|A rather strange attempt at making a Gameboy-esque handheld, manufactured and marketed by TimeTop (aka Guangzhou Daidaixing Tec. Electronics Co. Ltd.) in 2003. Strangely enough, this one's even more primitive than the Supervision, Gamate and Mega Duck consoles before it, as it uses a lower-resolution 64x32 screen, and it is despite companies such as Subor (i.e. that Chinese company who gained notoriety for developing an AMD-based gaming PC/console hybrid) releasing workalike clones of the [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators|Game Boy]] and, more recently, GBA clones. MAME seems to emulate well all known carts.
