Two TVs and a shelf to the same plasterboard wall?

We have two TVs in our living room that we'd like mounted on the wall next to each other, with a shelf underneath to hold a couple of games consoles. The wall is plasterboard, will it be able to hold the weight of all this?

"In our opinion, the best way if we build a stronger wall from timber for these things, you can choose led lights or any design."

"Yes depending on the weight-But more importantly the fitting for plasterboard must be correct to compensate the weight(especially tellies over 65")-Personally I would fit a expanding metal spring raw-plug which opens up and grabs the wall from inside the tighter you turn the screw."

"If you use the correct fixings it will hold two TVs easily enough however you must use the correct fittings for the plasterboard wall. I would use metal heavy-duty screw in plasterboard fixings please can be found in b&q or any decent hardware store they look like a cork screw type thing with a tapir you make a small hole in the plasterboard wall where you want it then simply screw them in until they go flush do not over tighten or you will have a problem good luck with your TVs and shelves"

"As long as the fixings go into the timber frame there should be no problem. If not, it is possible to take out a patch of plaster board and reinforce the frame with timber onto which the fixings attach. To do it this way will require the wall to be patched and replastered.
It is important to note the safety notices and weight restrictions in the instructions for the product."

"The vertical studs that the plasterboard is secured to should be very strong. If you secured to these you should be okay."

"Depending on what size the Tv,s are . Ideally it would be great to get fixtures in timber , studding if this is not possible then I wouldn’t chance it"
