If DS was a fluke where's the "inevitable" handheld decline?

I think the 'desperation' is because of the home console not the handheld, no?

Switch isn't going to sell less than 3DS but if it does sure, assuming Sony doesn't release a 80m selling handheld.

I don't think anyone on this planet can release an 80m selling handheld anymore unless it's a smartphone and you're Samsung or Apple.

And yes I'm still skeptical whether the Switch will reach the magic 50m mark. The 3DS wouldn't even have gotten so far without the midgen refresh called the New 3DS.

Agreed but if they'd have dropped the 3D and had a lower price from the start, do you think they'd have sold more or less?
