DS: ~66% of market. Massive hardware sales, Massive software sales, Competitor has a chance of taking sales and mindshare. Performance is par to sub par.

3DS ~85% of market. Good hardware sales, good software sales, competitor has no chance of taking sales or mindshare. Decently strong performance.

 

~85% of the dedicated handheld market by ignoring the rest of the mobile gaming market. Forget that arbitrary line and look at the whole mobile gaming market (handhelds + smartphones) and you have your answer, if 3DS is in a better or worse position than the DS.

Or look at the yearly revenues and profits of the handhelds and appstores, not at percentages.
