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

How can you say the handheld market isn't in decline? The 3DS is going end up at maybe 75 million units, Nintendo is about to launch a Mario game on mobile, and we've heard absolutely nothing about a true successor to the 3DS...

It has declined, spin it how you like though.

I didn't say it hadn't declined.

Obviously hh sales are down from last gen but if the DS is ignored (as an anomaly) then combined hh sales/software are going to be higher than the GBA.
