A video game console is a system that is primarily used to play video games by consumers, as opposed to computers and arcade games.
The lines between video game consoles and computers sometimes get blurred, as video game consoles such as the Family Computer had computer-style options such as a keyboard and the BASIC programming language. In addition, computers such as the Commodore 64 were also advertised as video game machines.
