Primera Generación
La primera generación de las video consolas parte con la creación del primer videojuego de la historia, el Pong (además, único juego que caracteriza a la época). Es por ello que debido a esta innovación de la tecnología, -lograr tener una «maquinita personal» en los hogares que entretenía durante horas-, se da inicio al boom de las videoconsolas.
Cientas de consolas hicieron su debut y participaron en la industria, por lo cual se dedica un apartado especial para esta generación.
