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

So now we're using multiple controllers and local multiplayer to define what makes a handheld into a home console hybrid. Well according to my research, most Philips CDi systems did not launch with multiplayer ports or support local multiplayer, only some newer models did. Do we just disqualify most Philips cdi's from existence as home consoles because they didn't support multiple controllers and have local mutiplayer? No, of course not. That would be silly

Thats because they are archaic and limited.

Its like excluding gameboy as handheld for not having touch-screen.

Again, home consoles are able to have multiple controllers to play on a single display connected to the main system.

That's why games developed with that funcionality in mind can't be ported on handhelds.

Cut the straw man

Next he will say PC Engine is not a game console because it had 1 controller ports and/or has PC in the name (It's not a PC nor was PCFX)
