Ninth generation of video game consoles

Tenth generation of video game consoles ->
The Ninth generation of video game consoles is the current video game generation of the Fantendoverse, including consoles made by Illusion Works, Toroko (in association with Sony & Nintendo), Zeta Labs, Simple Studios, Ninkancho, Lone Planet Productions, Revelation Heroes Entertainment and Transparent Interactive. It begun with the release of Illusion Works's Pacifico software in late 2015, making it a profitable success and dethroning its competitors (specifically Steam) on the process and with a home console released the following year. Two of the console manufacturers that were beat out by Illusion Works joined together to work, alongside Toroko, on a new video game console, entitled The V². In mid-early 2016, Ninkancho released its Display handheld with smartphone-like functionality and the ability to connect to a specialized console for home-style gameplay. Simple Studios made a departure from the tesseract consoles with the new R-Evolver. In November 2016, Lone Planet announced the Knuckleduster, which borrows some concepts from "indie consoles" of previous generations, while at the same time adapting them to a more modern gaming audience. In 2015 Transparent Interactive announced their Glassbox platform, whose initially planned release in 2017 was postponed multiple times and eventually cancelled entirely. In January 2017 the Nexus was announced, with an estimated release date of early April. In September 2017 the Centauri. Microsoft released its Xbox Two console in November 2020, shortly followed by Sony's PlayStation 5 console, the successor to its well-recieved PlayStation 4, less than a month later. In January 2021, the Nintendo Surge was announced and was released the following November. In a Nintendo Direct for E3 2022, Nintendo announced that the game studio Step Ahead Studios, the game studio that had made Super Mario Galaxy Deluxe, had been working on a game system for a while now, the Nintendo Polygon. To clarify things, Nintendo said the Nintendo Switch was still a 9th Generation Console, but this was made specifically to compete with things like the PS5 and Xbox Series X instead of their predecessors.
This generation has as a major factor the interconnectivity between devices, with both the Pacifico and the Zeta Nebula being both home systems as well online hubs that can be utilized alongside other devices. The sole exception, however, is The V², which intends to be a simple dedicated system with the sole intention of being a game console.
All of the systems have recieved critical praise from their users and critics. The Pacifico was critically acclaimed by video game publications such as IGN, while both the V² and the Zeta Nebula have recieved praise by their userbase, although for different reasons.
