For all the effort you will have to do to "hack" your consoles into doing this? Probably not worth it at all.

yeah, If it works, maybe we've satisfied with the result, but it may be worthless as mining device (nowadays)

Selling your console would probably more profitable.

I felt the same, and we can use its money for buying some mining devices (if enough). Cheesy

Old computer processors (some of which are comparable to console CPUs) have long been repurposed to mine cryptocurrencies (mostly CPU-mineable coins), but they have never been very profitable unless you have very cheap electricity and are doing it at economies of scale. You will probably just destroy your console before turning a decent profit. Selling your console would probably more profitable.

Does anyone have experience configuring old gaming consoles (wii, xbox, playstation) to be able to mine crypto coins?
