3DS on top as usual. I guess smartphones have harmed home consoles more than handheld consoles.

No the Western market is looking bad for handhelds.  Hopefully Japan doesn't get saturated anytime soon because it's holding 3DS at the top and Vita and PSP are only kept barely alive by it.  I mean PS3 is doing almost double 3DS in NA and that's its lowest market and it's $80 more expensive while being 5 years older.

This is incorrect anyway you put it.  Japan is PS3's lowest market.  Globally the 3DS is higher than the PS3.  Of course it is because of Japan, but it doesn't change that the statement bolded is still not true.

However I am not saying the numbers for the 3DS in North America are good, but if you take a good look at all the numbers in North America, they are all relatively bad.
