> Consoles are absolutely general computing devices. Repeating a false statement doesn't make it true. A general computation device is a device that manipulates data without detailed, step-by step control by human hand and is designed to be used for many different types of problems. A gaming console is strictly not designed to be used for many different types problems. It's a piece of hardware designed to run a specific vendor-sanctioned class of video games and in some cases provide limited media playback capabilities. It uses specially designed hardware for that purpose, which is different in many ways from general computer hardware (specialised SoCs, proprietary storage solutions, etc.). Sure, it's perfectly possible to use a passenger jet as a demolition device for multi-storey buildings, but that doesn't mean that they're in same device class as demolition equipment. The type of a device derives from its intended use, not potential uses. That's why a nail gun isn't sold as a hunting weapon even though it ticks almost every box of being a firearm.
