Does it even count? Should we be comparing Handhelds to home consoles?

This is my view as well. In which case I don't see it being beaten this generation by any of the 3 consoles.

Why shouldn't it count? I am very interested in hearing your argument.

I bet it's the same argument people make ... Each family member will likely to have a handheld for his/her own instead of a single one for the whole family. Or that handhelds are cheaper (in which the PS2 is) ... or maybe they are trying to make a distinction by telling you that one is portable is one is not.

Hmm... actually the "more than one per household" argument does make some sense ... but the difference could be accounted for with weighted scoring. 

Cheaper, though, is not a good reason.  It's an advantage -- maybe an unfair one -- but it doesn't put the handhelds on some other plane of existence. 

In the end, yes, handhelds are a different type of game system; but when you get right down to it, so is the Wii.
