Why a New DS makes sense

 The functions you describe can be done with anything that can display a text document. The DS is clearly using a blue ocean strategy, but the rumored redesign would not take it further down that path. It would take it down the exact path its competitors have tried.

 But you will notice Malstrom is convinced it is part two of his three part blue ocean plan. He comes up with a theory, and then forces the evidence to fit it rather than gathering evidence and forcing the theory to fit it. When I start seeing more objective analysis from him I might take him seriously, but as of late he is just a cheerleader on the side blindly following Nintendos lead.

 

 We'll have to wait and see, but maybe Nintendo could use those new elements into gaming, and succesfully convert new customers in new gamers. Anyway, thank you for taking your time to answer.

 If it relates into gaming then they are essentially creating a new system. Once you make a hardware revision that adds new game play options you force all your old customers to upgrade to get the full experience.
