I mainly see one big problem with this comparison, and that is the release dates and generations that differs a lot between handheld hand home consoles.

To be more fair, then the counting should begin from the release of Wii U, for this gen.

~24 million 3DS
~ 9 million Wii U
~ 6 million PSV
~ 19 million PS4
~ 10 million Xbox One

~ 33 million Nintendo
~ 25 million Sony
~ 10 million Microsoft

Or compare sold units for every system that has sold in the same timeframe, since the first console of "this" generation was released. And that would be the 3DS that released on Feb 26, 2011. So we should add up all the sales of Wii, DS, 3DS, Wii U, PSP, PSV, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. If some indeed suggests that the generation began at Feb 26, 2011, almost 3 years earlier than the PS4 and Xbox One was released. And then the major sales for Sony and Microsoft which laid in PS3 and Xbox 360 must be added up as well, or else Microsoft would have had no sales at all for 3 years and Sony only their low sales of PSV to count.

I hope that someone gets my point. I really don't think it can be compared like this since the release dates are too far from each other and they are almost in two different generations.
