What is a "microconsole"?

A microconsole is a small, affordable video game console designed to offer a gaming experience similar to traditional consoles but with a focus on casual or digital-only games. Microconsoles are typically smaller and less powerful than full-sized consoles, relying on downloadable games or streaming services rather than physical discs. They can connect to a TV or display and are usually operated with a controller.
