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

It's not a troll thread. If it was it would have been banned by now. The point was to prove how hypocritical everyone is being towards the switch and other handheld devices. The switch gets to qualify as a hybrid because it can be played on a TV, but the Sega Nomad/PSP/Steam deck/ROG ally don't. Total elitism towards one platform and total dismissal towards the others. Worst gaming hypocrisy I've seen

The PS2 games were stored on DVD's so it had to be a DVD player to function as a games console. 

Nonsense, it could have been a gaming console only. Wii and WiiU games are on DVDs but their focus was games only. Sony's main existence is to sell medium for people to watch TV and MOVIES, gaming come later. They will always ensure their game consoles double up for that purpose. 

The fact is Sony uses gimmicks like that to move more consoles, and I have no issue with it. To say that PS2 is the best selling console because it was only a game machine is to b naïve. Many sued it as a chap DVD player du to V players costing too much.

And the Wii can play DVDs. They are only softlocked out. Nothing that Letterbomb homebrew could not fix.
