Gaming console
Gaming console is a term applied to stand alone computers whose primary purpose is focused toward gaming. While many modern game consoles, like the Xbox 360 and PS3 especially, have multiple purposes relating to media and internet access, the term game console is applied back to computers which solely played computer games. Many consider Atari's Pong console the father of the game console, as the device plugged into standard TVs and allowed two players to compete in a variation of ping pong on screen. The latest crop of video game consoles are the fifth generation of consoles since the early 1980s video game market crash.
