A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or modified computer system that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games from a personal computer, which has many other functions, or arcade machines, which are designed for businesses that buy them and then charge others to play.

A. The basic pieces really haven't changed that much since the birth of the Atari 2600. Here's a list of the core components that all video game systems have in common: * User control interface * CPU * RAM * Software kernel * Storage medium for games * Video output * Audio output * Power supply The user control interface allows the player to interact with the video game.

What portable game console should I get my 4 year old?
Q. My little girl is turning 4 and her best friend has a portable game console, I don't know what it is but she wants one I think its a psp. Does anyone have any advise as to what one is the best for younger kids. She already has a v-smile. I need one that is more mature and that she can take in the car. I looked up the Nintendo DS, I just don't know if she could play the games with the little pen.

A. Personally, I wouldn't recommend getting a 4 year old one but that's my view. If you did get her one though, I would recommend a Nintendo DS. These are generally aimed at younger gamers and have more suitable games, whereas the PSP is aimed at older gamers13+ , and has very little games for younger gamers, whereas the DS has loads.
