Since Sony fans love using it as an excuse, guess ill use it as well. 3DS is also Nintys most expensive handheld.

What would Sony fans need to excuse? The PS4 not beating the competition by enough?

FYI the GBA launched at 150$ in 2001, which is the equivalent to 189$ in 2011 (3DS launch). The 3DS's price may have started out higher than that, at 249$, but in just 6 months, it's price was cut to 169$.

Exactly.  Price isn't the 3DS's issue.  As much as I hated to admit it at the start of the gen, the 3DS and Vita both have suffered from the shrinking HH market.  Casuals are switching to phones and tablets.
