No. In IT the closer you are to the user the lower your status. Helpdesk is naturally at the bottom and the guy who fiddles with DNS entries and router tables is at the top. From the helpdesk you can graduate to desktop support, then to servers and eventually networks - each step having refreshingly less user interaction. I say this with only a bit of tongue in cheek.
The console looked like Fisher Price designed it and the titles were nearly all anime games. It probably wouldn't have been much of a success in the US.
I can see why he used a jigsaw to cut the edge of the skyline, but to cut out all those windows he would have been better served with a Roto-zip tool. Cutting out 1,540 windows with a jigsaw would take forever!
Creative Labs did this for the 3DO console - it was called the 3DO Blaster. Another cool PC/game console hybrid was the Teradrive (http://assembler.roarvgm.com/teradrive/teradrive. html) - a 386 with a built-in Genesis.
