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

Of course computer can operate without operating system. OS is just a program (rather set of them) to use the computer. NES is just as much a computer as Commodore 64 or my mobile phone or the gaming PC my kids have or Switch. Yes, CD-i doesn't really classify as a console. 

NES is just as much of a computer as a gaming PC? A single purpose games console that has no OS (I looked it up) is just as much of a computer as a gaming PC? How exactly does a computer operate without an OS? They're called operating systems for a reason, you need them to operate the computer. Are you trying to say that just because the computer turns on when you press the button it is technically "operating" and therefore doesn't need the OS to be operated by the user? 

A PC has a BIOS. You need the BIOS to install an OS. A PC won't boot without a BIOS but will boot without an OS. People have gotten Windows 1.0 running on an NES. Some older consoles like that didn't use a custom CPU but an off-the-shelf one, made in the 1970s like the SEGA Genesis. Those CPUs were good for a long time. The Motorola 68000 was used in multiple consoles and computers from SEGA, Atari, Amiga, and computing devices in the 80s, and 90s.
