I consider the Odyssey a true console because, regardless of the internals, it was the first machine to, however basically, do most of the same things any video game console does. Modern video games, to this day, follow many of the basic concepts this machine established (multiplayer, individual game media, light guns, manipulation through the paleolithic equivalent of a controller), and no machine before ever attempted any of this stuff in such a way as we would describe a game console.
