Not sure how PSP worked, nr had one. But if you can plug it on the TV, and you can play somw coach playing with some other people, then, yeah, the PSP could effectively run as a hone console. Also as a portable one. Not sure about the existence of local coop play with the PSP, so it wouldn't fit my definition xD.

Why would local Co op be a defining feature for a home console?

 

If the PS4 or Xbox One couldn't do local multiplayer they wouldn't be home consoles? What would they be?

Turds. Console without local coop are turds xDD. 

Now, seriously, that's a good question. I can't conceive that feature out of any console, though it's getting harder and harder to play local coop games. But, yeah, you're right, that wouldn't be mandatory. So the PSP could work as a home console then. Why not? It's clearly not the core concept of the console, but you can do that.

It's not like the Switch concept is so groundbreaking. The difference is that Nintendo is making that hybrid concept core.
