The PSP could connect to a TV, does that make it a home console?

Yes, we actually should do that, because it wasn't even intended as a games console in the first place. Sony actually manufactured even a CD-i discman. The Philips system was Compact Disc interactive multimedia player. It did have games, but games clearly wasn't how the system was intended to be used.

It's classified as a home console. All the collectors who have them, have them as consoles. A console having a primary multimedia focus doesn't disqualify it from console status. Intention doesn't matter, function does. Why does everyone keep thinking intention overrides function. 

By that logic, all the game centric computers were consoles - and as many people have pointed out about Switch, it does function as home console and people are using it as such.
