If the 3ds is the only handheld console that is 'fading out fast', then nintendo is doing something wrong.
BUT, theres also the PSVita which is currently like 1/10 of how much the psp sold.

So this means that, smartphones have taken a M A double S I V impact to the psvita and 3ds.

Society continues to change.

Yep, I don't think there's any other explanation than although Nintendo managed to hold onto more of their audience due to huge handheld franchises like Pokemon and Monster Hunter, Smartphones have really carved out a huge piece of the portable gaming market.

I honestly expect the upcoming micro consoles to start doing the same in the next few years to the home market.
