In the world of non-pc video games, any of the three can be used interchangeably to mean the same thing (the machine used to play a certain game). Console is generally most used today, platform being a bit rarer I guess.
In PC games tho, platform almost explicitly means what OS, what hard/soft/firmware are supported, etc.
