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.

80m over 3 years with no competition during an age when they had a monopoly while that 75m has been with the so called mobile boom you have been touting. The fact that this gen will surpass the GBA eras numbers highlights portables are just as strong now as they were back then.
