idk thats like asking why would anybody want to play a Gameboy, Nintendo DS, Playstation Portable on the go.

More like who'd want to play a Gameboy, Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable on the go in 2017, a year where everyone has a smartphone.

the market for such devices has certainly declined, im not going to deny that but its still a viable market that can be very profitable since its basically one company that completely owns it.
Portable consoles will have sold roughly 80 million this generation with a pretty even balance between regions.
going by this sites numbers, they have sold 13.7 million in 2011, 17.8 million in 2012, 17.6 million in 2013, 12.6 million in 2014, 10.0 million in 2015 for an average of about 14 million per year.
Clearly there are people who still like playing on the go.
