If you created a Metro style application, there's no Console in WinRT. Don't search for it as you won't find any. This is explained in this article:

The subset of managed types and members was designed with a clear focus on Metro style app development. As a result, it omits the following:

• Types and members that are not applicable to developing Metro style apps (such as console and ASP.NET types).

• Obsolete and legacy types.

• Types that overlap with Windows Runtime types.

• Types and members that wrap operating system functionality (such as System.Diagnostics.EventLog and performance counters).

• Members that cause confusion (such as the Close method on I/O types).

You could use the debugging API or logging framework.
