Yes, but when Apple releases an iPad mini or reduces the price of it's iPad2 to combat budget Android devices and gadgets like 3DS and Vita it is inevitable that it will impact the dedicated portable videogame system. It's a lot less childish to many mainstream gamers to game on an iPad than it is to game on a Vita and 3DS and that is the stigma Vita and 3DS has. Again this article is pretty insightful:

The iPad 1 is still $500.
There will be no price cut to the iPad 2 or the iPad 1. Apple is the richest company in the world becuase they sell overpriced products. They don't do price cuts.
They will certainly not release any $250 iPad mini either. Why would they if iPad 3 will sell like hotcakes at $600?
Would you prefer to sell an iPad mini at $300 and make $50 profit or sell an iPad 3 at $600 and make $200+?
