It's actually more popular than ever, the reason the 3DS sales were down is because iPhone, iPad, and Android have become the main choice for handheld gaming.
It is a similar situation with the whole "crash" of the video game industry back in the 80s, it didn't actually occur. What happened is that the platform of choice for video games had transferred over to more PC-like consoles such as the Commodore 64. Why would people play on a stinky old Atari system when C64 was able to do all of that, and a whole lot more, and with much better graphics and interface. Then the NES came out, and it was kind of like the Wii of its day, cheap, less powerful than the competition that came out at that time, a more simplistic and intuitive interface, and it won.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
