Nintendo is holding to the naive idea that dedicated handhelds are a market worth investing.
I don't completely agree. The 3ds has done very well for them. Will that market continue to succeed? It's hard to tell. I remember people saying consoles were dying too.
I think what they are going to do going forward is merge their console and handheld into the same ecosystem to play on the go in some way.

But it really hasn't. It's going to be the worst selling Nintendo handheld ever. While it's doing good numbers on its own, it's a Nintendo handheld. Expectations are way higher.

This goes along with I've said already. They going to have to change their target market to sustain any type of success for their handhelds.
Also,

If Nintendo's titles exist on other platforms (even old classics like SMB) it reduces the incentive for the consumer to purchase their hardware.
The people interested in playing a NES port of SMB or SNES Mario Kart are never going to buy a dedicated handheld for the $3-5 experience they want for a short amount of time.

What's funny is that I hate that Nintendo is so behind when it comes to Internet connectivity on their devices, but it can actually be a boon for a parent.
