The first ever video game console was the "Magnavox Odyssey".[/size]
It was developed in the late 60s and fist demonstrated in 1972.



According to the console's wiki page: "The Odyssey was designed by Ralph Baer, who began around 1966 and had a working prototype finished by 1968[2]. This prototype, known as the Brown Box,[2] is now at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C..

In 2009, video game website IGN named the Odyssey number 25 in the Top 25 video game consoles of all time."

Facts from: http://www.trenditionist.com/2012/04/16/ten-facts-about-the-videogame-industry/

- The estimated time spent playing videogames in the United States in 2011, according to a survey by Veronis Suhler Stevenson, was 131 hours per person in total. The number is expected to be 142 by 2012, which is almost double the amount from 2002.

- Among which age group are videogames most popular? In 2011, 18 to 49-year-olds made up the largest age group at 53%. But people aged 50 and older followed at 29%. The smallest group was under 18 years old, at 18%...
