They offer the same service: they play games.
The reason people think the mobile market is cutting into handheld sales is because smartphones and tablets provide that same service, most people have smartphones for other reasons, and the games sold through them are much less expensive.
The key is that home consoles face this same threat to their sales. Someone who uses their smartphone or tablet to play games now will be less inclined to purchase a dedicated game console with which to play other games. This is something shared by home consoles and handheld consoles. They are in the same boat.
