Yes.

I think shipments of PS3 will reach 80 million units before it stops being manufactured.

X360 70 million.

NDS? Wii? PSP?

Just ignoring and pretending some systems don´t excist is a very strange thing to do. This is all too often the case. I used to just compare consoles but now I´ve realised that we should compare all systems (consoles and portables) with one another since it´s very obvious they share the same arena. They all compete for developers and customers. Nintendo is on top. Or if we are going to be more exact, NDS is on top, it will most likely reach 180 million in shipments before all is over.

Handhelds dont exist for me.

I dont ignore the Wii, but I put PS3 on top because from this point forward in this gen (3-4 remaining years 'til nexgen starts) it will be perceived as the dominant console thanks to it's gigantic comeback - even if it keeps getting outsold by the Wii by a slight margin.

Well portables don´t exist for you but they sure do for developers. Portables do compete with consoles for attracting  the resourses from developers, it´s very clear. Pretending portables don´t exist in the videogame market of today is just like walking through life with a blindfolder on. You can choose to view sales as you yourself want to but it won´t change the fact that consoles and portables all compete in the same market and therefore should be compared.
