Why are handhelds often seen as inferior or not as important as home consoles?

[S.Peelman]

I don't know.

One of my favorite games of all time is a handheld game, and it sh*ts on all but a few console or computer games out there. Moreover, the best games of the 8th gen have far and wide, in my opinion, been handheld games. I guess some people are just blinded by all those awesome console-pixels for the most part.
