Well, I see enough handhelds left. Clearly the 3DS finds it market. The thing with mobile gaming it's mostly a chain of rapidfire succeces like Candy Crush Saga, but those eventually fade away (has been ages since I saw someone Canfdy Crushing). In Japan, a large group of commutors in the metro's use smartphones, but a significant amount of people and kids also use 3DS' there. IAP games are already starting to oversaturate the Playstore and cannibalize their own market. In 2 years time, the mobile gaming expential growth will have seized and will have setlled.

The thing is mobile gaming isn't dependant on Candy Crush, Candy Crush is just what's hot now, next year it will be something else.
Sounds like you live in Japan, I would expect to see more dedicated handhelds there. In North America and Europe where I travel a lot, in airports especially I see maybe 1 DS/3DS/Vita for every 10-15 people playing on a phone or tablet. It's really becoming lopsided.

I live in Belgium, but I went on vacation to Japan for 3 weeks. I live in Belgium. And while smartphone gaming is kind of big, all of my friends who respect themselves as gamers have a 3DS (those that have Vita's, got a 3DS or traded their Vita for a 2DS).
