I still doubt it, assuming the 3DS has a lifespam similar to the DS its gonna be around for 7 years, starting development on the next handheld after 2 years seems kinda dumb since so many things can change in that time.

Well, we can potentially assume that it may last as long as DS, but that doesn't mean much since developing a system prior to official unveiling takes a few years to accomplish, so it's not completely out of the question that they have started already. They officially announced the DS a little over 2 years after the GBA released near the end of 2003, and released the following year. IF they just started their plans in 2013, they probably already have a vendor for their next handhelds' silicon, and are probably customizing and developing the architecture, that takes time.
