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

Look, I get it, not all of us have unlimited time and money to spend. So we spend them on what will get us the most fun, or at least, the most guaranteed fun.

I used to watch a lot of good movies, now I don't have enough time for them, so I got very picky. I only watch what I think will be a great movie, and I get cranky if the movie I choose to watch turns out garbage. I know that I am missing out on lots of great movies because my selection process isn't perfect, but what will I do? I can only resort to watching guaranteed quality, and leave the rest to when I am retired or reincarcerated. 

so you recognize that you don't have eough money to get the best so you compensate for that lying to yourself and trying to make yourself feel better and secure saying that there is no best in fact and everything is equal? sorry buddy, there is the best, and you don't have it

There is no one claiming that they're equal, where did you get that?

They are extremely different. See, it's not difficult to use that word, Different devices for different tastes. Obviously there is the power difference, but you can't just label a gaming console as the "best" or the "worst" just measuring graphical power.
