Development kits are game console variations for game developers to develop, test, and debug games on before releasing them to the public.
Development kits usually come with a development build of the system firmware/operating system that enables debugging features such as sideloading games, emulating/spoofing specific conditions, or being attached to external debuggers, but not always the capability to run currently existing commercial games.
Development kits may also have a different hardware configuration and chassis design than a retail console for the requirements and ease of video game development.
In some cases, retail consoles could run a development build of system firmware/operating system or enable debugging features, and vice versa for development kits, via either official or more commonly, unofficial ways.
