The DS is resurging because there’s no mainstream handhelds now, the DS has a large library and was the most recent successful handheld.

Comment on Is the 3DS worth purchasing despite it being "obsolete" today?

If you want to play 3ds you have 3 decent options.
-
Buy a 3ds for like $200. Hack and jailbreak it. This will be the most authentic experience.
-
Buy a retro handheld. This will be a good experience and has the benefits that come with Linux based handhelds.
-
Play on Android phone and use a 3d printed joycon holder. If you have a printer or friend with one and some old switch controllers this option is really cheap and mimics the OG form factor fairly well. I use this and while it’s not perfect, it is functional.

And yet almost nobody but a few hardcore fans even care.
For being such an underpowered handheld, the NDS left Sony’s attempts in the dirt.

What do you mean there is no main stream handheld, didn’t the switch 2 just come out? I bought the original and I loved it.
