When I researched what is in a video game console this is what it came up with:
The basic pieces really haven't changed that much since the birth of the Atari 2600. Here's a list of the core components that all video game systems have in common:

• User control interface
• CPU
• RAM
• Software kernel
• Storage medium for games
• Video output
• Audio output
• Power supply

The user control interface allows the player to interact with the video game. Without it, a video game would be a passive medium, like cable TV. Early game systems used paddles or joysticks, but most systems today use sophisticated controllers with a variety of buttons and special features.
