What's SCEA supposed to?

The Sony audience doesn't give a sh*t about handhelds. They are teenage/college age males who game at home on the big screen and want a PS4 or XBox, not a Sony Game Boy.

PSP falling off the map in North America for years prior was already a tip off. Everyone has smartphones here now too so if you ever get an urge to game for 10 minutes on the road, smart phone scratch that itch. The big gun games are for consoles.

Besides I think there still is a huge stigma about playing handhelds in public. No one says anything about smartphone games because smartphones are more of a social media device. No one wants to be the weird guy on the bus "playing video games in the corner". Is it a double standard with smartphones? Sure. But it still definitely is there. 

Tell that to PSP, which sold around 80m...

Before the smartphone revolution really kicked in. 

All teenagers/adults have a smartphone, that's killing the Vita. Nintendo just has their go to market with kids who are still a few years off from having their first phone. 

3ds sells to alot of  diffrent groups of people, not just little kids...

It's primarily the kids market. Look at their marketing for it and it tells you a lot about their target demographic. 

their marketing portays the consoles as a mario/pokemon/Zelda machine, and that what sells it. i don't know why the wii-u isn't selling, but the 3ds is bought because people like playing Nintendo 1st party games, young kids like it, a bunch of my friends have one, and i even know a few guys in their 40's that have one. The console is appealing to many demographics, and that's what makes it successful.
