3DS proves what wrong? You do realize the DS did almost 150 million in 5 years? 3DS is entering year three, almost more than half the time in market than the DS and it's only at what sales? Monster Hunter sold the 3DS and Pokemon is going to give it a nice boost. It's all down hill after that. Which goes back to my statement "There just isn't really a market for dedicated handhelds outside of Japan anymore. And to be frank, if Capcom announces Monter Hunter 5 on iOS, there isn't going to be one there either". Call of Duty wasn't rushed, Neversoft was making the game; they didn't like what they made so everything was scrapped. Activision gave the title to Nihilistic because they're the only one with a working first person shooter on the Vita. THAT version of the game was rushed. Call of Duty on Vita technically wasn't.

3DS dosn't need to sold as well as ds not be considering a success

Exactly! With that type of reasoning of him then We should consider all consoles after PS2 a Fail... if we're just comparing unit solds as a meter of success... The 3Ds is selling pretty well software and hardware... Vita is not (is not a failure yet either) and behind it there are a lot of reasons, n wich mobile market eating handheld market is not that great... like some said arround, that mobile boom is gonna be a bubble exploding soon...

I'm not saying the 3DS is a failure, I'm saying the dedicated handheld market doesn't exist. Though it'd be more accurate to say that market is shrinking, and it's collapsing quite aggressively. Consoles this gen grew despite the PS3 not selling PS2 numbers. You can't say that about the handheld space.
3DS's software sales are a bit misleading. NIntendo titles sell like beasts... everything else? And I said what I needed to say about hardware.
Mobile bubble already exploded, it's why everyone who isn't Gameloft, are just making throwaway titles. Well, there's Japanese companies, but they're jumping on late :/ and will probably not have the sales because of it. It's actually interesting to point out that Final Fantasy Dimensions has a comparatively small download number on Android...

Yes handheld market is in decline this gen but it's not dead and it's dosn't mean the next gen handheld won't outsell this gen handheld.
