Was Square waiting for Sony to get back on top?

The GBA had competition. It had to deal with the PS2 back when console gaming wasn't a carcass in Japan. And it only had like a three year lifecycle. Unless Nintendo does something drastically different with their next handheld, I think it's going to be down from 3DS. 

We'll see. It's also close to outselling the PSP, if VGC's numbers are to be believed. You may not be downplaying the sales, but the 3DS is certainly a success in Japan. No two ways about it.

No doubt about that. 3DS has done very well in Japan.
