You do realize Nintendo didn't intend for DS to be a GBA successor, it was to be a 3rd pillar in their line up. Nintendo got wind of what Sony was doing with PSP and came up with DS, the rest is history 

which is  what i was saying, GBA can't even be used as a comparison for proper generation in handhelds.

 

Why not? They manufactured them until 2010, sure DS cannibalized GBA a bit, but they had a decade of sales opportunity. We'll see if 3DS gets that long of a manufacture window (along side Switch which is probably cannibalizing 3DS sales ) and then once 3DS reaches 80mil you can throw out your "mobile" argument.
