Handhelds are not in the same market exactly. The growing market is that of the new type of users:wii sports, wiifit, etc. They will buy some traditional games, like mario, etc and some can be moved up but they are not going to go out and buy an expensive HD machine. The "Hardcore" forum goers that like rpgs, etc is shrinking while the cost of the machines and games go up. All this while income is stagnet and layoffs are occuring means there is less of a market for traditional games. Not only that, the games this gen cost FAR more to develop for. Smaller market + increased costs +smaller or similar sized market = less profit and more losses.
