will this be the last generation of dedicated gaming handhelds?

If anything handhelds will last longer than consoles.

thats something bold to say, could you explain your point? 

With things like Ouya and Steambox popping up, we might see Sony/MS try going with a upgradeable console or even intergrating them with TV's/media centers.  What MS goes with the next Xbox has a lot going with my opinion.

So DEDICATED consoles might be going the way of the dodo, but still has many years to go before we get to that point.

Handhelds are feeling the squeeze from smartphones/tablets but the 3DS's success proves there is still demand for that type of market.  Next gen handhelds are quite up in the air though, but a DEDICATED handheld should still be around at least for 1 more gen after this one.
