Now that is the case, but in the days of PS2 dominance, the Nintendo handheld line was expected to shake in its armor. David has become Goliath, mostly thanks to Nintendo's tested recipe for success in the handheld market, and thanks to Iwata's innovative work on the DS product.

The handheld and home consoles market have always been seperate, or are you going to claim nintendo made no home consoles during the ps2 era.
The gameboy did tremendously well because it was seen as an entirely different product to home consoles, and the subsequent revisions and upgrades continued that trend virtually uncontested sales wise until the PSP, as the atari lynx, game gear and other poorly supported devices didn't even scratch the surface.
You are simply tying strings between points that will never actually meet to try and swing sense into a critically flawes statement, nintendo have never been david, the few occasions their home consoles have sold badly, their handhelds have picked up the slack, thus in the competitive market nintendo is the goliath, and psp/vita/gamegear/lynx/pcegt etc are the davids.

I remember the expectations back in the day. It was that PSP was going to demolish the DS. Remember the first year of the DS? I do.

Reality and fanboy hopes are two entirely different things.
