Why don't Western developers get handhelds?

Its more that publishers don't see anything in it cause we had like: Uncharted, Luigi Mansion 2, Wipeout,alien infestation, tons of lego games as perfectly fine handheld games by Western developers

To be fair, a lot of those were developed by first-party studios of Japanese companies, even if they were developed by a western team (with the exception of maybe the lego games and alien infestation)

To be fair, the only first party game on there was uncharted.

Really? Cause Sony Computer Entertainment Studio Liverpool was the developer for Wipeout, and while Next Level Games is technically independent, they have announced that they will be working exclusively with Nintendo.
