War? Do they have competition? Nope. They are king in this regard. PSP did resistance and wasn't good enough.

How about Vita ? A handheld with better hardware, more interesting app & features

Only twice have the most powerful home consoles been in the lead of the gaming market. The 4th generation with the SENS, and the 8th generation with the PS4 (even though the generation hasn't been finished yet, it seems like it will stay in the lead). This has never happened with handhelds as more adcanced hardware is more expensive and harder to develop for, so more games go on the cheaper 3D or DS or GBA or Game Boy, making it sell a lot better than the competition. The only other handheld game console to get close to beating Nintendo (though not THAT close) was the PSP.
