Is the dedicated handheld market really dying or simply returning to normal?

Well, the 3DS has reached 1/3 of the DS sales, while the PsVita has reached 1/8 of the PSP sales. Soooo i think that its all up to Nintendo next gen. Or if Sony makes a really powerful system then maybe.

When taking 7th Gen out of the equation, we are looking at 3DS/Vita doing similar numbers as handhelds in the 4th/5th/6th generations, do u see this continuing or are smartphones/tablets really killing dedicated handhelds?

I think it will! Since theres soooo much new technology coming out these days, it will be very hard to compete. And not only the next gen handhelds will evolve, but also the smartphones. Who knows what Apple could do in their next 2-3 phones that will blew everyones minds.
