Yes and no.  The way I see it, there are 6 'massive' franchises on handhelds in Japan:

2D Mario; Mario Kart; Pokemon; Animal Crossing; Dragon Quest & Monster Hunter.

4 of those can't leave Nintendo.  The other two probably won't leave Nintendo at this point.

Why can't Sony clone these? They seem very cheap to make compared to a lengthy handheld JRPG even.
