a small, specialized gaming device designed to play digital games, often with access to online gaming services
A microconsole is a small, affordable video game console designed to offer a gaming experience similar to traditional consoles but with a focus on casual or digital-only games. Microconsoles are typically smaller and less powerful than full-sized consoles, relying on downloadable games or streaming services rather than physical discs. They can connect to a TV or display and are usually operated with a controller.
- The microconsole is perfect for anyone looking for an affordable way to play games on their TV.
- I bought a microconsole to play some indie games, and it's been a fun experience so far.
- Since microconsoles rely on streaming and downloads, you won’t need to worry about physical discs cluttering your space.
- The microconsole I got connects easily to the TV, and it even works with the same controllers I use for my main console.
