In 1967-68, American engineer Ralph Baer invented the first computer game consoles. The system plugged into a TV’s aerial socket and displayed a range of simple games in black and white. It included twist knob controls for two players and had games such as draughts, volleyball, golf putting and table tennis - some of which were copied by competitors. Baer also created handheld light guns that detected white blocks on the screen, which were used to play a target shooting game. When the console went on sale as the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, it marked the start of home gaming.

Also this is from an independent company, not friggin Nintendo. As such, the economical risks for Panic! to manage as they make this dream of theirs a reality, are far more dangerous than the risks companies like Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft have. Do you wanna try making an entire gaming system and pricing it below $180? In the current economy? Good luck.
