This device manages to fit a Playstation 4 and Xbox One into a laptop contraption fitted with a solid base that holds all the internal machinery and a 22-inch [Vizio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vizio-micme-soundbar) screen. The Playstation and Xbox components are stored in separate compartments, but the machine uses a single power cord. Created at the request of a customer, the PlayBox is equipped with Wi-Fi -- for both consoles -- and ethernet ports. Zarick only took about a month to create the PlayBox, which is pretty amazing given its ease of use despite incorporating two separate and different gaming consoles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hybrid Gaming Consoles:** Creating devices that combine multiple gaming consoles into a single unit, providing convenience for gamers. - **Modular Gaming Systems:** Developing modular gaming systems that allow users to customize and combine different gaming components into a single unit. - **Portable Gaming Solutions:** Designing portable gaming solutions that offer the flexibility of console gaming on-the-go. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming Hardware:** Opportunity for game console manufacturers to explore collaborations and create hybrid gaming devices. - **Consumer Electronics:** Potential for consumer electronics companies to innovate and produce multi-functional devices that merge different gaming consoles. - **Gaming Accessories:** Market for companies to develop accessories that enhance the experience of using hybrid gaming laptops and consoles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handheld Gaming Laptop Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compal-rover-play.md) - [Embedded Monitor Gaming Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-box-design-concept.md) - [High-Power Handheld Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onexplayer-x1.md) - [Smartphone-Like Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-series-a.md) - [Handheld PC-Grade Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-xplayer-x1.md) - [Shapeshifting Gamer Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-game-boy-famicon.md) - [High-Power Mobile Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onexfly-gaming-console.md) - [Removable Controller Handhelds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onexplayer-2.md) - [Tactile Modular Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumi-dreamstation02.md)
