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

That's all fine and good but explain the 3DS being 14 million behind the GBA too at the same point in its life cycle. 

I don't know, maybe it was because GBA had 0 competition while 3DS has to deal with the mobile market and the PSV. It's amazing that it is where it is today

The problem with that is its losing momentum not gaining or holding its own. Every year 3DS shipments are lower and lower, I'm starting to feel like 7-10 million Nintendo handheld shipments in a year will become the new baseline for them, which isn't good.
