Did you even read the link? Here, let me help you out. 

Console: an electronic system that connects to a display (as a television set) and is used primarily to play video games. 

It would not be hard to get programs like photoshop or MS office or the like to run on a console. All that has to happen is for someone to develop or even port the programs to the systems. With the PS4 and X1 now running on x86 arch, especially the X1 since it's using a variant of Windows, they might even be technically runable, it's the installing that might be an issue. 

It wouldn't be hard. But the fact remains: The game consoles don't run these programs and are gaming centric, unlike PCs.

You're right when you say game consoles are computers. Even if they're specialized ones. But PCs are not game consoles. So I don't see the point in arguing further here.

What the hell are you talking about? We are talking about what consoles are, not what PC's are. A console is a computer system designed to play games on a TV. Therefore the PS4 is NOT the most powerful console. Sure the Wii U is the most powerful console if you don't count the PS4, X1 and Steam Machines/alternatives. The X1 is the most powerful if you don't count the PS4 and Steam Machines/alternatives. This is no different.
