I'm officially confused as to whether we call the DSi a new system or not--it seems to have some games that can't be played on DS, but it doesn't have any added horsepower, and just some internal memory and the cameras. I mean, we don't consider the PSP-3000 a new handheld just because it has a microphone, but this is just strange and a bit worrisome.

But not completely unprecedented. Remember the Game Boy Color; it could play old Gameboy games, plus some exclusive ones, but most folks didn't consider it to be an entirely separate platform. I'm guessing this is the same thing. Only Iwata's reference to the "third pillar" confuses me.
