The Color TV-Game is the first video game system ever made by Nintendo. The system was released as a series of five dedicated home video game consoles between 1977 and 1980 in Japan only. Nintendo sold three million units of the first four models: one million units of each of the first two models, Color TV-Game 6 and 15; and half a million units of each of the next two models, Block Breaker and Racing 112. The Color TV-Game series has the highest sales figures of all the first generation of video game consoles. Nintendo released a successor, the Family Computer, on July 15, 1983, ceasing production of the Color TV-Game series.

Details from sources

6 Pong variants; same board as TV-Game 15 with 9 game switches omitted. Made with Mitsubishi Electric. Original runs on batteries or separately sold AC adapter; improved cream-white version removed the adapter jack (en/ja Wikipedia). Model codes per lucklessheaven (CTG-6S original, CTG-6V improved); lucklessheaven says CTG-6S is battery-only, which conflicts with Wikipedia.
