xbox

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'console' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'youngster shortly covered in kisses' is the wordplay.
'youngster' becomes 'boy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'shortly' means to remove the last letter.
'covered in' indicates putting letters inside.
'kisses' becomes 'xx' (two X's - X can represent a kiss).
'boy' with its last letter taken away is 'bo'.
'bo' going inside 'xx' is 'XBOX'.
