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

Much like dedicated gaming hardware (video game consoles) is still relevant despite the existence of gaming PC's, so shall dedicated handhelds be relevant despite mobile gaming.

Apples and oranges..... Way more people have smart phones than gaming PCs. Average PC on Steam has integrated Intel graphics.....

Everyone has a PC that can play simple games, the majority of games which are on mobile. If mobile starts getting large exclusives that compete with handheld exclusives then you'd have a point, but as it is now mobile does not. So no, it is quite similar of a situation. You have open-platforms capable of simple games (for most people), and closed platforms accessible to people who want to play more complex games.
