The DS was the king of RPGs this generation.

Depends on what you enjoy, really.

JRPGs? Yes.

WRPGs? No.

Overall? No.

Look at PC releases over the past 7 years for RPGs... For console JRPGs, it was (loved my DS when I had it for DQIV and FFIII among others).

Going forward, iOS/Android will be the go-to consoles for both JRPGs and WRPGs, given what has been released recently and what is ahead.

There are better RPGs coming to the 3DS already than iOS/Android...

I doubt that.

Go look up what Square-Enix has been releasing to mobiles. They're increasing what they're doing, and sales are really picking up for their offerings. The tipping point for their catalog on mobiles outselling handhelds is getting close, sans maybe Dragon Quest (which hasn't been released on iOS, AFIAK).

And that doesn't preclude the other 100 developers out there with WRPGs and JRPGs for iOS and Android.
