on a stalk
As we seem to be struggling a bit with this one, I'll throw my idea into the mix and see if it means anything to anyone.
Given your subject heading (mobiliers de présentation), I presume that these "bornes" are the types of units that one sees set up in games stores to entice kids ;-)
As the PSP ones are "non jouables", I suspect that they are neither handled, nor "on plugs". I imagine that they are installed on a floor or wall-mounted stalk.
However, confidence level 1 means that I am guessing.

Actually, I think you really ought to ask the customer what is meant here.

From research, "broche" also refers to those metal spikes or bars from which packages are suspended. This is a possibility if the console is sold in a blister pack which would of course render it "non jouable" at the store.

It could conceivably refer to something you can plug into the main electrical socket but you can do this with all of them. I have often seen 'broche' refer to something the size of a computer memory stick

Note from asker:
| Thank you Jaynedmoore. But portable is already included in PSP. Is this possible? |
