So do you think there's space for a Handheld market for at least the followup to the 3DS ? Plus are Steam machines a thing or what ? 

Honestly I think handheld market ship has sailed now. Especially in China where Mobile is handheld. People do everything on their Mobile in China. It has replaced the usage cases for Desktop and for low income people it's cheaper than Desktop. So all services are available on Mobile first! 

When it comes to gaming the same applies. 

The West is the same as well tbh. Even new Nintendo 3DS hasn't increased sales, just slowing the decline. 

Thank you for your answers, The picture you give me of the Chinese market really  reminds me of the Mobile choices Nintendo made with Miitomo and Pokémon GO, I can't help but to think about such games becoming instant killeraps in such a market where local gaming seems to be non existing...
