Portables aren't really that dead, it's just that no one has bought a Vita...and 40% of the Nintendo portable market is still buying a DS instead of a 3DS. I would imagine PSP & Vita together are between 1-1.5m in the past year in the US (June 2011 - May 2012).
It looks like 3DS + DS year to date figures are about 1.4m - and over the past year they're at about 7m combined. Not at the highs of DS in 2007-2010 (8-12m per year in the US) but nothing to sneeze at either.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
