People in Japan use their handhelds as their primary gaming console period, that's why the handheld hasn't slowed down in Japan (well it has actually, 3DS is behind the DS' pace there as well but all told 3DS is quite healthy there so we'll give it a pass on that).
This is not the case in the West, and I don't think it ever will be the case.
