→Android consoles
Because it's possible to fork and create your own Android-based OS, many developers have used Android to power their own commercial consoles. However, as mentioned before, just because it uses Android as a base does not mean they will all work correctly on a standard Android emulator, as they may require specific hardware setup, extra non-standard APIs or frameworks provided by the OS of the console, or extra authentication that relies on the services bundled with the console.
'''Note: [[Main_Page#Mobile_DevicesWikipedia:Digital media player|Digital media players/Media boxes]] (e.g. ChromeCast with Google TV, Amazon Fire TV) are not consoles, despite some of them are able to run video games. The distinction is simple: If a device is not designed with gaming as its sole or main purpose, then it's not an Android console. Please do not add general Android devices that can play video games, such as [[Main_Page#Mobile_DevicesWikipedia:Digital media player|Digital media players/Media boxes]], [[Smart_TV_emulators|Smart TVs]], etc. to this section.'''
