3DS vs DS gap is growing even fast though not the same size yet, poor handhelds.

Would be interesting to see an aligned launch comparison to see if Vita ever took the lead from 3DS due to the release date shift.

I love handhelds, but they are on a deathbed until nintendo creates a Wii - kind revolution and brings Handhelds back to life...

Are they? The market might shrink, but I'm sure many people still prefer to play on a dedicated handheld. I can't play a lot of games using only touch.

I see not a month, but has there ever been a week when the Vita sold more than the 3DS?

I think on its launch it did. But that's about it. Maybe one or two more times aside from launches.
