What if the console just rolled around? Wireless controllers and wireless charging, digital video games and syncs to a television via bluetooth?

No, but it's not an efficient use of space.

Of course you can make a spherical console. Haven't you heard of the GameSphere?
THEY_CALL_ME_FACE OP t1_ixxw71y wrote
The GameSphere is not a perfect sphere/ball. It is half a ball that sits on top of a dock.

I see much more than half a ball there. What deck are you talking about?
THEY_CALL_ME_FACE OP t1_ixy2whw wrote
The GameSphere that you are talking about from Drake and Josh is not a video game console. It is a round boombox that is flat at the bottom. The GameSphere from SouthPark is part of a ball that sits on a dock.

It's not a boombox, it's clearly stated that it's the most advanced gaming system created by humans. It's SPHERICAL.
Seriously though, there's no reason you couldn't make a console in whatever shape you want. It's just plastic. The limiting factor would only be size. You could make one in the shape of a dildo, as long as somewhere in the design is large enough to hold the electronics of the console you are running. Making it a sphere would be rather simple. There's not really a reason to do it, it's a huge waste of space and if you're even being so specific that it can't have a flat bottom to remain in a specific orientation, then it wouldn't be a very practical solution either.

There was a Playstation ad years ago talking about the future of consoles and it feature a spherical console. I'll try and see if I can find it.
ETA
Can't find the specific ad, but here's a photo promo for the PS9 lol

"Is it impossible to make a console (computer dedicated for gaming) and then wrap it in a spherical container?"
... hmmm... yes... yes it is... also highly illegal and immoral and most of all, extremely mattayogi!!

Impossible. It would roll off the table and onto the floor. Broken. Destroyed. Money down the drain. Maybe if it had a sphere holder accessory; but then is it really a sphere? Get your head out of the clouds! ☁️

Is it impossible for me to suck my own PP? No. But that doesn't mean I'm going to do it because its fucked. The same concept applies to your spherical console.
