Sony's handhelds have only outperformed Nintendos in the specs department. That hasn't translated to sales as Nintendos handhelds have never been challenged, even in Japan. Sony isn't going to capture the Japanese martket no matter what. Right now, in light of Switch being a hybrid, Sony can only try to stay afloat. Home consoles are dead. Ninendo handhelds reign supreme. There's really no where for them to go right now and it's going to be interesting to see how they approach the problem. 

Just to be clear, you're speaking Japanese sales only, right?

 

I need to know that's the extent you're speaking here, because it could be interpreted in a different way.

 

They do not need to outsell Nintendo's handheld in Japan to make money, there's obviously the western market that will also buy the product. It's possible to take a piece of the pie, there's no need to let Nintendo have a monopoly on handheld gaming.

 

Also as I mentioned before. If you're thinking Nintendo can sell a highly limited handheld for over $300 and be successful, history says otherwise.

Yeah. It's an entirely different world outside of Japan lol.
