View source for Engineering:List of home video game consoles

{{short description|Wikipedia list article}}

This is a '''list of home video game consoles''' in chronological order, which includes all known [[Engineering:Home video game console|home video game console]]s after the first generation, from the first console, [[Engineering:Magnavox Odyssey|Magnavox Odyssey]], to the first ever [[ROM cartridge]]-based console [[Engineering:Fairchild Channel F|Fairchild Channel F]], ranging from the major video game companies such as [[Company:Magnavox|Magnavox]], [[Company:Atari|Atari]], [[Company:Fairchild Camera and Instrument|Fairchild]], [[Engineering:Intellivision|Intellivision Entertainment]], Coleco, [[Company:Nintendo|Nintendo]], [[Company:Sega|Sega]], [[Company:NEC|NEC]], [[Company:The 3DO Company|3DO]], [[Company:SNK|SNK]], [[Company:Sony|Sony]], and [[Company:Microsoft|Microsoft]] to modern market consoles.

This list is divided into eras which are named based on the dominant console type of the era, though not all consoles of those eras are of the same type. Some eras are referred to based on how many bits a major console could process. The "128-bit era" (sixth generation) was the final era in which this practice was widespread.

This list does not include other types of [[Engineering:Video game console|video game console]]s such as [[Handheld game console|handheld game console]]s, which are usually of lower computational power than home consoles due to their smaller size, microconsoles, which are usually low-cost Android-based devices that rely on downloading, or [[Engineering:Dedicated console|dedicated console]]s past the first generation, which have games built in and do not use any form of physical media. Consoles have been redesigned from time to time to improve their market appeal. Redesigned models are not listed on their own.

== Map key ==
There are a total of '''{{#expr:{{table row counter|id=2gencon|ignore=2}}+{{table row counter|id=3gencon|ignore=3}}+{{table row counter|id=4gencon|ignore=5}}+{{table row counter|id=5gencon|ignore=1}}+{{table row counter|id=6gencon|ignore=3}}+{{table row counter|id=7gencon|ignore=2}}+{{table row counter|id=8gencon|ignore=1}}}}''' video game platforms released since the second generation, and '''10''' canceled platforms.

This list only counts the first iteration of each console's hardware, because several systems have had slim, enhanced or other hardware revisions, but they aren't individually listed here. The list also includes unreleased systems. If a series of home video game consoles begins in a generation and lasts to another generation, it is listed in the generation the series began. This list does not claim to be complete.

== First generation (1972–1984) ==

There are '''{{table row counter|id=genonecon|page=List of first generation home video game consoles|ignore=1}}''' home video game consoles known to have been released in the first generation of video game consoles. They can be found in the list of first generation home video game consoles.

== Second generation (1976–1992) ==<!-- This is based on when the generation's last major unit was discontinued, not the release of the first unit in the next generation. 1992 is not a typo. -->
There were a total of '''20''' home video game consoles released in the second generation, and '''1''' cancelled platform;

* The Videopac+ G7400 was planned to be released in America as the Odyssey³ Command Center, with a different case design, but it never occurred, although some prototypes exist.
* Although fully developed, functional, and with 2 games ready, the few Halcyon units that exist were handmade for investors of the company to try out the product, it is not believed that it ever went into full production or entered the market at all. Less than 12 Main Control Units (Halcyon 200LD, the console itself) are known to exist, but more Halcyon branded Laserdisc players (LD-700, made by Pioneer) exist.
* The Кроха (Read as "Krokha", meaning "Baby") was a Soviet console that was ready to launch, but production halted, only one game was made, and the approximately 200 consoles were given out to employees of the factory that manufactured it.
