To me, all electonics machines that are mainly used to play are consoles. At least in my first language, so I will say the DS is a console because it sounds natural for me.
And yes, the "handhelds" can compete with the "living-room consoles". I think that the DS took the PS2 spot in Japan quite clearly. She became the main hardware to work on and support in that country.
