Why do specs matter for home consoles but not handhelds?

The Wii and the PS2 were also underpowered compared to the competition. So specs are as irrelevant for home console as for handhelds. What matters is: is it a good overall proposition. And in that specs may have a place as a factor, but not as a major one.

Those days are gone, because now PC, Mobile and Tablets are having hardware that is quite capable of close to console quality grahics(not still but in a year or two it will). So, its not releavant to compare the old consoles to current as the technology and harware innovations have been changed a lot. Specs are not needed for great games to be produced but its needed for helping the developers to get the things done quickly, so they spend more time on making game with more content and details instead of making the game to run on the hardwar very well. Wii U lost the part of giving enough speciciations to developers which can ease their development time and money. So, 3rd party choose PS4,PC and xbone which helps them to develop games more quickly and also making the development costs very less due to similar architecture.
