Consoles (Game Dev Story)
Game Dev Story ✍ |

|
To make a game for a console, you must first buy a license for it (except pc games), unless you make your own console. Often the more expensive and newer the console, the more money you will make with your game.
Once a console is removed from the market, you may no longer create games for it. If you make a new console, your old one will be removed. PC Game console will never be taken off the market, along with any console after the Mini Status. The player will be informed 3 months ahead of the schedule that a certain console is going to be discontinued.

1. After a time a console is removed from the market, and no new games can be made for it.
Making Consoles
To make a console, you must have at least one Hardware Engineer. Making a console takes quite a bit of time, and you will almost always have your fan base shrink at least once for not releasing a game (having high stats and use lots of Dead Bull to finish quickly helps prevent this). To build a console, you must be in the level 3 office.
