Because making another console or handheld makes no sense.

Another console, you may be right about that ... but another handheld is a lock. Even if 3DS "only" sells 80 million, that's more than successful enough to proceed with another portable platform. 

I think virtually any game platform that sells over 40 million units has enough of place in the market to justify a successor. 

True but the handheld market is dropping too fast to hold out for another generation.
