3DS is the current portable market, but ALBW launched in 2013, and mobile has continued to chew into the portable marketshare since then. Not every 3DS owner is going to get a Switch, (kids these days play on tablets mostly) and not every one that does is going to get BotW.

Ahh the old mobile chestnut reminds me of the PS2 era when some humourously thought that Facebook games were actually going to replace console and PC gaming it's always a good laugh, we've been hearing about mobile for 5 years now guess what it'll never replace dedicate portables get over that. 2013 is only 3 years ago so drop this hilarious notion that now is different from back then because if your argument had any ground Pokemon Sun and Moon wouldn't be tearing things up now like it is, ALBW sold the same amount as Spirit Tracks which was on a platform with a far higher userbase.

Every portable gamer from both 3DS and Vita has only one choice of platform to get after 3DS and that is NS, kids still have dedicated gaming platforms as well because tablets and phones can't replicate a number of gaming experiences.

3DS won't even sell half of DS and will be Nintendo lowest selling handheld besides the Virtual Boy, Vita won't sell even a quarter of PSP. The decline is real.
