A koduvideomängukonsool is a specialized electronic device designed primarily for playing video games. Unlike personal computers or arcade machines, it is specifically built for home entertainment and typically connects to a television or other display device. These consoles house a central processing unit, graphics processing unit, memory, and storage, all integrated into a single unit. Users interact with the console through handheld controllers.

The concept of the home video game console emerged in the early 1970s with devices like the Magnavox Odyssey. Over the decades, the industry has seen numerous generations of consoles, each offering progressively advanced graphics, processing power, and features. Key players in the market have included companies like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, each introducing their own distinct lines of consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Modern consoles often support a wide range of gaming experiences, from single-player adventures to complex online multiplayer games. They frequently include features like internet connectivity for downloading games and updates, streaming media capabilities, and access to digital storefronts. The evolution of console technology has been marked by innovations in controller design, storage media, and visual fidelity, significantly shaping the landscape of interactive entertainment.
