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

Totally fair comparison, especially with different genres, different art styles and heavy artifacts on the handheld picture!

Guess which is on a handheld and which is on a console?

Of course you can see minor differences, but each handheld generation the general look of handheld games came closer to the home console games.

you can see great differences, stop trying to lie, taking promotional art for the handheld games, take IN GAME SCREENSHOTS

Sorry to disappoint you, but these ARE in-game screenshots of the Vita.

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

So you recognize that you don't have enough money to get a good home console / gaming PC and a good handheld to get the best gaming experience at home and on the go / on vacation? So you compensate for that lying to yourself and trying to make yourself feel better and secure saying that handheld gaming is inferior? Sorry buddy, there is the best, and it is multiple gaming devices instead of only one... obviously you don't have it.

See, that argumentation style works both ways.
