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

As I see it, yes

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

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?

The GameSphere is not a perfect sphere/ball. It is half a ball that sits on top of a dock.

"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!!

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.

So, like, BB-8?

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.
