It was a heavy hit, yes. I do not believe it would've made a significant difference in the end though. The dedicated handheld market has massively shrunk in the recent years. And the 3ds simply had a much, much, much more appealing games on it. And as it stands there are very few people that would've bought a vita as a second console along with their 3ds.

Even the amount of units the 3DS has shifted has shrunk.
3DS: 62 Million vs DS 154 Million.
Gameboy Advance did 81.5 million, Gameboy 118 million.
So it's the worst selling mainstream Handheld for Nintendo to date.
The market has shrunk and shifted... I think the main reason Nintendo was able to retain success in the handheld market is due to cost and the fact they target their handhelds to younger audiences... But it can't be denied that Mobile has eaten into that, some kids would prefer a tablet over a Nintendo Handheld these days.

Compared it to GB is unfair.. It had a very long run.
