Don't make me get into this again.

It all depends on what you want to compare. A gaming system is a gaming system, no matter what form it takes. The very definition of the word 'console' states it as 'an electronic device capable of running video games'; both fall under this category. If you want to compare pure gaming systems, both Home Consoles and Handheld Consoles count. However, you are of course allowed to compare home consoles only, in which handhelds do not count. The other way around goes too, naturally. So, there's three things to compare: Home Consoles, Handheld Consoles and Overall.

As of now, and likely 'till te end of time, the winner for the 'Home Console' category is the PS2. The winner for the 'Handheld Console' category is the DS. The winner for the 'Overall' category is, at the moment, still up in the air with the PS2 leading.

With regards.

Can you compare a Plane to a car ? They both take you places

Yea, sure. You can compare a car, which takes you from house to house legally, to a plane which can legally take you from house to house. Currently, it's illegal to fly a personal aricraft in many large cities and above roadways, so the only planes that work in this situation are plane/cars like these:



They are both personal automobile, aka automatic mobile things, which belong to an individual.

I think a better comparision would be comparing a boat to a car for individuals who live on a coast and do all their commutes/errands to places along coasts. Doesn't matter if you take a car or a boat, it still gets you there, and you can park it in your garage. So just like bith handhelds and home consoles, they still play video games, often in the same place, but not always.

Or another better comparision would be Jam Blasters, or BeatBoxes of the 1980's. MP3's and Walkmans didn't exist back then, but who cares? You had 8 D Batteries and a Stereo on your shoulder. If that system any different from the one you have at home?

Sure we have MP3 players now, but do you listen do different music at home then on the go? Or is it still music? How is miniturizing technology make it any different from the old school Beat Boxes?
