What am I missing? Because it’s cheaper than a PC?

PC require you to sit and stand in a specific place in your house, even notebook are impracticable if you want to change room (still in your house). Handheld, as their name imply, you get the "whole" gaming in your hands and you can sit, lay or hang down "bat like" anywhere in your house.

It's not about have the best option, rather have a suit case scenario for specific needs.

So it's more for casual gaming, the advantage over a phone is having physical buttons. That makes sense, thank you. I thought they would be used as the primary gaming machine which baffled me.
