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.

The PC-handheld field is the busy corner right now: alongside the Steam Deck
sit Windows machines like the ROG Xbox Ally, with Valve’s living-room
Steam Machine and Steam Frame headset also on the way. They run the gamut on
price and aren’t locked to one store, so they’re harder to pin to
a single “console” line — I’ll fold them in as they
settle.
