The 3ds has no competition yet it is selling only over a third of what the Dsdid.....

face it dedicated handheld systems do have stiff competition, and that comes from smartphones and tablets..... That market killed the vita, and has stolen at least 50 percent of that market from Nintendo...

There it is, the analysis of Switch with home functionality and handheld capabilities as separate entities.

Other mistakes in leo-j's post:

1. The 3DS is going to finish with lifetime sales a lot closer to half of the DS than a third of the DS.

2. The 3DS killed the Vita. If smart devices could kill dedicated gaming hardware, the 3DS would be dead too.

3. Mobile gaming is proportionally the most popular in Japan, but in the same country handhelds are proportionally also the most popular. That alone already points towards viable co-existence, but anyone who has an understanding of the control inputs also recognizes that mobile isn't going to replace dedicated gaming.

4. An implied assumption that the 3DS was perfectly executed and didn't have any problems on its own.

This is the biggest one, in my view. 
Had Nintendo executed the 3DS' launch better than it did, it would be closing in on GBA/PSP levels right now.
