Handheld Gaming or Second War

Both Sony and Nintendo have released handheld gaming devices in which their sales trounce the games console sales.
Game Boy Advance: 81.06 million
Nintendo DS: 70.6 million
PlayStation Portable: 25.39 million (Wikipedia)
Does this mean that handheld gaming is better than games consoles or is it merely a combination of lower prices and a desire to fulfil peoples drudgery of modern day living. It is clear that the graphics and features of these systems are much lower but the sales dont reflect this. It remains evident that these consoles are key in the gaming industry.
