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? 

Computer operates like the program you're using tells it to, doesn't matter if the program is operating system, a game or a spreadsheed app. On a technical level, computer is the circuitry required to do computing. Videogame consoles are a type of computers that are called videogame consoles because of the task they're designed to perform, which is to play videogames.
