Are people seriously still arguing whether or not the mobile/tablet market is devouring dedicated handhelds? The fact that the Vita/3DS combo is struggling to meet 50-55% of the DS' numbers in the same time frame and where the DS actually had a viable competitor should be ample proof of this.
The dedicated handheld is going away, and like I said in 2011; the 3DS is the last of its kind.
