Old video game consoles (pre-6th generation, along with the Gamecube) actually are so tightly integrated that calling them "computers" is a stretch
That depends what you mean by "computer". Video game consoles are all Von Neumann machines. They are exactly the same as a desktop PC with respect to the class of algorithms they can compute.
The user of a game suffers in just the same way as the user of a spreadsheet if they are denied the four freedoms.
