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

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

Being archaic and limited doesn't disqualify something from having it's status. Like you said, it would be like excluding gameboy as handheld for not having a touchscreen. There's no rules about home consoles having to have multiple controllers and local mutiplayer support, if there was the CDi could not classify as a home console. 

This is not about rules. This is about things they are able to pull.

CDi not having multiple controllers support was a cheap choice. Not something that was limited by the hardware form factor. We got consoles way before CDi that could do that

A handheld is able to play everywhere. Home console don't 

Home consoles are able to have multiple controllers. Handheld don't
