The handheld market in America is only going to shrink so it will depend on whether 3ds shrinks faster than vita.

shrink even more? i actually see the handheld market growing in the next year or two

That is very unlikely. The handheld market is being eclipsed and ultimately swallowed by the smartphone/tablet market. The days of the dedicated handhelds are over.

OT: No, there's no way, 3DS numbers in that region may be bad but they're still about 350% more than the Vita right now.

Everyone seems to think this is a 100% truth these days however I disagree. Nintendo willl keep going for another two handheld consoles AT LEAST just off their poularity in Japan, Cash in the Bank, and proven track record of adapting and creating new industries. 

I used to belive this Tablets/Smartphones will kill porable consoles bussiness, than I bought A tablet (nexus 7). The games just do not compare in the slightest. 

Yea i kno! Nintendo will never give that up, just cause its now down doesn't mean it'll dry up! Anyway people are really underestimating one Name...... Pokemon, no matter how much ipads/etc will take the market, pokemon belongs on handhelds and people would buy a handheld for the game alone, 5-20 years pokemon wont die! Some people are just ignorant to think Nintendo (especially in Japan) will ever be terminated in handheld gaming!
