Comparing a $199 handheld with a $399 home console looks like comparing a sports car with speed boat.

Sure, but both probably get similar profits (not as a percentage, but actual $'s), so this allows us to determine which company (Nintendo or Sony) is more successful in the general goal of profit-maximizing. For that reason it is useful to compare them. 

This profit is also under fog. PS4 has PS+ revenue, selling other entertainment itmes from PSN (movies, TV show, music etc), more games sold digitally than handheld (hence more profit), more games and hence more revenue (look at GTA V sales, sony gets a cut from that sales) and console games price ($39 vs $60 + DLC + Microtransactions and in future GOTY release). But I think home systems have an edge in this regard.

First you should not think so much about the price.. 3DS is more old than ps4.. and when it's as late in the gen as 3DS.. i think it's sure to say that it will not be a 399$ system.

Second.. the thead IS about comparing 3DS sales to Ps4.. (yes theire are many factors to include in why it went that way.. but you cliked on a 3DS vs PS4 sales comparisons tread)

And i also find it a bit strange that you mention Movies, tv shows and music.. that has nothing to do with gaming.. and sony could had sold them elswhere

Ontopic: I think the "litle handheld that could" have silenced a lot of "gaming analytics" And the numbers this dec (just before N3DS comes to the west) are not possible to spin in any negative way.. in any way.. (daredevil i'm looking at you :)

Ps4 also did very very good.. No doubt about it..
