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

Handheld gaming won't die. People who say that and say it's going to disappear soon are being hyperbolic

Handheld gaming currently only exists with a single company. Handheld gaming will die as soon as that company decides it wants to jump on smartphones instead.

You say it only exists within a single company but there is 30k vita sales on the front page which disagree with you, sure Sony are unlikely to make another handheld in the next couple of years but if the Switch proves to be popular with giving gamers a real console experience on the go then I would be shocked if no other company produced a similar product in the next few years.
