2DS is a handheld.. The PSVITA.TV is a home console similar to Ouya mixed with a streaming box. I don't even see how you could compare the 2DS and Vita.tv. Considering under the chart is says consoles and PORTABLES. Referring to the 3DS and Vita. If they bunch in the Vita.TV with the Vita sales I would be disappointed. It's quite decieving as they both serve different purposes. Another thing. Just because it has the same hardware does not make it the same thing. Some of segas arcades shared their console hardware. Should we had the arcade sales to the console sales? However minimal that might be?

Say I'm wanting to make a game for both PSV, PSVITA.TV, and PS3. How many versions/ports would I need to make? Well all three of those systems play PS1 games, so I could get away with making just one technically. That doesn't mean they are the same system. However, what if I wasn't a cheap skate and wanted to make the game the best it possibly can be? If I wanted to make the best PSV port possible, the best PSVITA.TV port possible, and the best PS3 port possible, how many versions would I make? Two. PSV and PSVITA.TV get the exact same game. In your hand or by the tv, they are the same system. They're the same hardware. Not the same system. 

The ONLY way you could realistically argue its sales shouldn't be included is if you don't consider it even a game system.

The Vita and the Vita.TV are not the same thing. One is a portable console and one is a home console. People didn't factor in the gameboy players sales into the GBA sales as far as I'm aware. They have the same hardware, but are not the same system.
