handhelds? because parents prefere to buy their kids $200 dedicated gaming handhelds over a $800 smartphone

>How come consoles still exist as gaming platforms nowadays?
Because it's a computer that plays games.
>but how come they don't buy a computer
Because people are told to buy the PS4/Xbone. It has marketing, a fancy case and status symbol. Some people fell for it and bought it.
Your question is more like "Why don't buyers make the right choices in every single case?"
