What is a "console"?

A console is a type of electronic device used to play video games. Unlike a personal computer, a console is designed specifically for gaming and typically connects to a television or monitor. Popular examples of gaming consoles include the PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Consoles usually come with a controller for input and are often sold with pre-installed hardware and software that are optimized for gaming. They offer an easy-to-use and accessible way for players to enjoy games without needing to customize or upgrade hardware, as is often necessary with personal computers.

Examples
He bought a new console to enjoy the latest video games.
03

an ornamental scroll-shaped bracket (especially one used to support a wall fixture)

04

a scientific instrument consisting of displays and an input device that an operator can use to monitor and control a system (especially a computer system)

05

a small table fixed to a wall or designed to stand against a wall
