Random Modern Console Generator

Generate a real modern gaming console or handheld, from PlayStation and Xbox to Nintendo systems and portable PC gaming devices, for comparisons, trivia, or shopping ideas.

About this generator

This generator draws from 55 real modern gaming consoles, handhelds, and portable gaming devices across three categories -- PlayStation & Xbox, Nintendo Home & Portable, and PC & Portable Gaming Devices -- from the Xbox 360 era to today's Steam Deck and ROG Ally.

Every result here is drawn using crypto.getRandomValues() -- the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure randomness -- instead of Math.random(), so it's genuinely unpredictable, not just statistically random. Learn more.

What people use it for

Shoppers use it to compare options across brands when deciding what to buy next. It's also useful for tech trivia or getting a sense of just how many gaming devices exist now beyond the two or three most people default to naming.

How it works

Generate draws one console at random from the full 55-entry pool using the site's cryptographically secure randomness, guaranteed not to repeat whatever result is currently showing in single-result mode. Filtering by category narrows the pool before drawing.

What's inside

Common questions

Are these real consoles?

Yes -- all 55 are real, currently or recently sold gaming devices, not invented.

Can I filter by category, like only PC & Portable Gaming Devices?

Yes -- use the filter button to pick one or more of the three categories. Generate will then only draw from consoles in the categories you've selected.

Will it show me the same console twice in a row?

Not in single-result mode -- each new roll is guaranteed to differ from the one currently on screen.

Does it include PC handhelds like the Steam Deck?

Yes -- PC & Portable Gaming Devices covers modern PC handhelds alongside traditional consoles.
