A video game console is a dedicated electronic device designed to play video games . Often the output device is a separate television or a computer monitor . Once, video game consoles were easily distinguishable from personal computers : consoles used a standard television for display, and did not support standard PC accessories such as keyboards or modems . However, as consoles have become more enhanced, the distinction has blurred: some consoles can have full Linux operating systems running with hard drives and keyboards (like the Sega Dreamcast ) (one university has even created a Beowulf cluster of PlayStation 2 consoles), and Microsoft 's Xbox is basically a stripped down PC running a version of Microsoft Windows . |
