How could a handheld gaming system compete in such an environment? Phones already have thousands of games to play on them, oftentimes free. How in the world could a handheld gaming system attract consumer attention? Also, when mobile games do cost money, they are very cheap, and people are used to this very cheap price.
Is the handheld gaming system doomed? Do you think phones basically replaced it?

Hasn't the switch through its first year had the highest sales of any console ever for that release period. More or less answers your question, no mobile gaming isn't going to take over the industry, it wasn't going to as we moved into the current gen as many claimed and it isn't going to anytime soon (if it ever does it is in to the future far enough that we can't even speculate about it with any real meaning).
