Technically we can bring up handhelds, as it is kind of an open-ended question.  

Sure. It's a blury line, but I think they are so different that when someone says console it means the thing hooked up to your TV and if they say handheld it means the thing in your pocket.

As for the Gameboy being hardy. It's probably because it was made to travel. When a home console can take a licking and keep on ticking it's more impressive because it wasn't designed for a trip down the Amazon.


However, at the same time, consoles had to be made (at least in the past) in mind that there were lots of cords connecting it to the TV, and from your controller to the console, so it could very well be physically damaged by falling off of wherever you put it when you played it.
