Originally, videogame consoles could play games only and that was all they were good for. Today's videogame consoles stream movies, play music, show photo slideshows, etc. They've basically ceased to be videogame consoles and turned into multimedia machines.
But, as I said in my original post, there's those consoles with a bunch of built-in games still available, so technically videogame consoles don't qualify.
