Honestly, mobile gaming will probably replace "handheld" gaming relatively soon.
Hardware wise, there is literally no logical reason at all to having a dedicated handheld. If you are on the go, you have your phone with you and that is generally more than "good enough". If you are at home... why the f$%^^ play on a 4" screen? Makes no sense.
Having just got an IPAD for the first time, and also starting to explore more games with my phone. I almost see the Vita and 3DS XL that I bought as unnecessary. Will I still play them a little bit? Probably. But I will bet that most of the playing I do will be at home, not on the go as the systems were intended for. And I will basically be playing them only to justify my purchase, although there are certainly some games worth playing... for the most part it is pretty damn stupid to play games on a 4" screen when you have a 55" screen right in front of you.
Let's hope not. I like good games, and I'm not going to waste my time with the crap that is found on cell phones.
