I also nearly only play at home, but I actually like the screen being close up to my face. On the tv-screen, I tend to miss stuff like an enemy that's hiding somewhere and I am less accurate with for example jumps. The 3D feature of the 3DS actually made that worse, I now die in the most silly ways on the tv-screen.

I also play my WiiU in Gamepad mode more often than not to have the screen up close to me. Consoles usually win in quality of the games, but  library-wise, it's no contest right now as the 3DS beats every other 8th gen console combined with it's many excellent games.

I give you the controls though, usually those are better on a console because of the sturdier buttons and better placement. Except on the WiiU sadly. Even though I can put the screen in my face, for some reason they thought it was a good idea to have the tiny flimsy handheld-style buttons as ABXY-buttons instead of the bigger and more solid ones like the A button of the Wii Remote or the facebuttons on every other console they had before that...
