It's just the nature of things. When you're sitting down in your living room you want to be blown away and immersed in awesome graphics. When you're gaming on the go you just want a fun game to play. In fact, often times the more graphically advanced handheld games are too close to just being console games, which kind of defeats the purpose. Graphics are a big piece of the enjoyment pie on consoles, but a very small one on handhelds.
Then you've also got to factor in price. People are willing to pay to have great graphics on their TV, but for on-the-go gaming most would rather pay less for a simpler-looking game. $300+ after memory cards is a bit much, but $170 is just right.
