It's not returning to normal though; GBA sold 80 million with just three years between its release and its replacement, Vita and 3DS combined haven't reached that amount in twice as long.

It has returned to normal because GBA sold 80m as the only portable on the market with no competition what so ever, Vita and 3DS combined is 75m which is not far off that amount, this gen will end with total amount of portables passing that 80m, that's a return to normal numbers.

80 million over three years versus 75 million in 6 years means the rate of sales have more than halved from around 27 million a year in the 6th gen to around 12.5 million a year this gen.
