Game consoles
The game consoles you can buy right now, grouped by maker — the chip inside, a line of headline specs, the starting US price and when each shipped. It’s a quick way to compare raw silicon across the PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and PC-handheld camps without wading through spec sheets.
Snapshot as of 5 June 2026. Prices are starting US prices in dollars and exclude tax; several have risen over the past year on component costs and tariffs. Listed prices are for the lowest current configuration.
