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

Guess which of these is on the PS4 and which one is from a handheld, Because ya know... it's simply a case of which looks nicer in a single game right?

I have a Vita and KZ: Mercenary. This one is a bullshot, the game does not look that good. It looks a bit worse than Killzone 2 on PS3, an impressive achievement. But compare it to Killzone: Shadow Fall.

Have Mercenarys too and there are some areas of the game which are PS3 levels of quality for sure, no where near the PS4 in terms of particle effects though you are right there, the thing which destoryed the game for me was the loading times, have the game digitally so I don't know was it better if playing from the Vita card but just running off the memory card the game could take upwards of a minute to load the start of stages (sure there wasn't loading in stages but still... really bad for a handheld game to suffer so bad from loading)

I did feel bad putting up the screen shot of Whoa Dave from the PS4 against this though because that game seems like it was made on a budget of about €20 it was one of the few times I facepalmed at an indie offering from PSN+ this and the fire fighting game were easily two of the worst mobile phone style games on a console.
