Define: Game Console

How is Game Console defined in a legal contract?

• Game Console means a device run by electricity whose main purpose is to provide video gaming. It primarily offers output to an external monitor for game play. It usually includes components such as a CPU, system memory, and a graphics processing unit (GPU), and might incorporate internal storage options or optical drives. Game consoles generally use handheld controls or other interactive controllers instead of an external keyboard or mouse. They typically don’t utilize conventional personal computing operating systems but rather specific operating systems designed for consoles. Handheld gaming devices that operate mostly on an integrated battery or another portable power source are also considered a type of game console.
