The term computer is usually means a general computing device to most people.
Video games historically is not a "general" computing device, but with the last couple generations, the distinction is blurring.
Simply put it's a spectrum. These days, pretty much everything contains a "computer", be it digital watches, cell phones, or traffic lights. Just so happens gaming consoles use chips that computers also use, which makes them more general.
A word on terminology: the term "computer" used to refer to humans who compute. Word meanings evolve, and for a word like "computer" obviously its meaning is in constant flux. It's kind of pointless to argue what "is" and what "isn't" a computer.
the Wii is an epidemic.
