So has anyone ever made up a games console, then made an emulator for it and made games based on the hardware limitations of the made up console?

Chip8 is pretty much what you are asking about - a simple game console that was invented so an emulator could be made for it, and then games for that emulator. Except it was created in 1977 and the limitations of the Chip8 machine were mostly driven by the limitations of the host computer (originally COSMAC VIP). Internet Janitor made a great web-IDE for Chip8, too.
