before smart phones if kids wanted a handheld gaming machine -----> nintendo. Now ---> smartphone. Why? because the games are cheaper and it can do even more than a 3ds could for the children in the eyes of the parents. obviously not in all cases, but its the reason why the 3ds is doing much worse than the ds

If we bring your argument to its logical end, it means that the next Nintendo handheld will sell fewer units than the 3DS because smartphones are only going to get more widespread.

and it will. unless the next handheld is a fusion,or has some amazing gimmick that smartphones couldnt ever hope to mimic
