Could that have being anymore obvious considering that the vita isn't needed anymore and so is the 3DS to a lesser extent.

It doesn't matter how big mobile gaming gets, Nintendo will always have secessful handhelds.

Sony could have easily dethroned nintendo in the handheld market space if they released at $150 and not at an expensive $250.(I guess their fixing up the mess now with the vita tv)

The 3ds is on track to sell better than the original ds, there is no way Sony could replicate those numbers, the software on the vita doesn't compare to the 3ds's.  I'm not against the vita, I plan to get one, but Nintendo is on another level in the handheld market.

Vita is doing quite opposite to what 3DS does, Vita is more about the Console quality gaming on the go whereas 3DS just like what DS did. I don't think 3DS can repeat the sales of DS since as the technology moves there many Gaming related Tablets/Mobiles coming out every year so by 2015 we will have powerful device just like Vita or more which can bring more Quality games which meets Console and along with indie games which is driving the future on that. I don't see 3DS capable of support those games other than RPG's and Nintendo IP's. So, 3DS has got a year or two at most to sale like now but after that it cannot sell the unints just like it does now, lifetime 3DS can go between 50-75 million.
