Can I have representations of actual game consoles in my game/app without legal ramifications?

As the topic states, I am not sure of the legal aspects of representing actual game consoles in my (for profit) game (more of an application, really). To be clear, I mean having models for the consoles, both current and legacy (i.e. NES, PSX, Gameboy, Xbox, etc, you get the picture) and refering to them by their trademarked name within the game. Is this something that can get me into legal trouble?
