Sony has officially supported Linux distros for both PS2 and 3.
However, that’s not what the games ran on, so it still fits with your definition. It’s just interesting to think about given the current state of things.
If you can select OS, it’s PC. If the manufacturer can’t even things with exclusive game sales and licensing, hardware would be more expensive than it would be as a console. Sell the hardware cheap, gather profit from games people want to publish on your platform.
Is steamdeck really a console or just a Linux PC with extra controls.
I’d argue that being console also needs a proprietary OS and games that don’t work anywhere else.
A defining aspect of the console experience is the “it just werks” pick up and play nature of them which I think the steamdeck fits well enough into.

That’s a hilariously corporate definition of a console

Console is a very corporate thing.

Yes and sony cancelled other OS, because…
I think it can be both a console and a pc. However you choose to use it.
