@heyheni lol no. We have far more impressive stuff to show to industry people than a lousy console. And doing it for money would spoil the fun for something like this.
Besides, a console is much more than the hardware, it's the business plan and ecosystem too. Anyone can build decent hardware, it's very hard to build a decent ecosystem.

Making my own game console.
I work with FPGAs and have access to a bunch of pretty nice dev boards, so building a workable CPU and GPU is definitely possible. I even have architectures for both in mind, and have planned ways to get compiler support (i.e. just use RISC-V as the ISA as much as possible so that I can reuse an existing RISC-V compiler with minimal changes) so that I don't need to write assembly.
But, lack of time. Sigh.
