Why? It doesn't seems fair. You can't play most of these games on the handheld, so if we are comparing handhelds to home consoles using all games is a fair comparison. If you replaced the PS4 with the X1 the result would be the same, so his point is completely valid.
Comparing only first party games, this is no longer a comparison of handheld vs home consoles, but a comparison between Nintendo and Sony first party titles or Nintendo vs MS. I can play Red Dead Redemption on a PS3, it's a 97 meta game and I can't play it on any portable ever made. Why it is out of the comparison? Because it wasn't made by Sony? It's not like it makes difference. People care about which games they can play that are good.
If I we were arguing about PS4 vs X1, games like Street Fighter V and Rise of the Tomb Raider could be used as arguments to justify the preference for one or the other, even if they are on PC and can't be really deemed "exclusives". When you compare two platforms, it's only reasonable to use the "X has this game, Y doesn't".
