I don't really understand this quote "Yup. It baffles me when people try to say 3DS is doing well. " combined with the chart when you compare 1 handheld (3DS, 2 if we add in Vita but the chart goes to 2019 so likely only a Nintendo handheld by then) to mobile.

It's basically like comparing a revenue chart of "BMW" in 1 bar and "Every other can manufacturer in the world" Comparing one device by one company to everything else in the world is likely to show revenue charts like that.

This is how handheld vs. mobile works. Nintendo vs. rest of world.

 

And yes, handheld gaming is passing away basically. No one should expect Nintendos next handheld to do better than 3DS.

Not that you need to like it. I don't.

 

Edit: Keep in mind, last gen was the best handheld gaming ever had with over 150 million DS and over 80 million PSP. This gen hasn't even reached a third of those sales. It's still behind the shortlived GBA.
