Sony and Nintendo's handheld systems having gone through their third generation of the same thing!! (Techinical stuff)

For Nintendo:

DS Phat: 1st of its kind

DS Lite: Same thing as DS Phat, just smaller, lighter, and more modern looking

DSi: Same thing as Lite, without the GBA cart, limited Music Player, 2 low res. cameras, etc, slightly larger screens, etc. + more ram, DSware

 

For Sony:

PSP: 1st of its kind

PSP 2: Same thing, slightly smaller, more powerful (faster CPU)

 PSP 3000: Same thing as 2nd ed. faster cpu (more powerful) more features then before

So what's my point? The point is that both companies have not come out with a totally new, redesigned handheld system. They're just sweetening the package with more features (which is a good marketing tool) as every generation comes. When will they have a new one?! I've been itching for something new!! (Even if it means a new PSP2!!) What's your take?

 

GB --> GB Pocket --> GB Light

GBA --> GBA SP --> GBA Micro

 

You know, after doing it for 2 decades, I think they won't change their way.

Probably Nintendo won't make a new version of DS.

But, the way things are going, probably will take lots of time before Nintendo releasing the Ds's successor.

(D* it, I still don't have one)

Looking at it like that is pretty funny, because GB Pocket and GBA SP are the 2 systems to get very very minor redesigns (Pocket without the LED and then with the LED, and the SP with a regular screen and then screen with stronger backlight).  So Nintendo bucked their trend when they didn't have 2 very similar DS Lites.  And of course the Color is all lonely without a single redesign.
