Wow, excellent :)
It won't be long before its double the PSP global sales (couple of months?), and then I predict the gap to continue growing as it takes on a life of its own. Imagine sales when DQ hits - plus a potential price cut ;)
Spent hours playing my DS last night (Pokemon Ranger - which I think is actually surprising good!) while I was watching the cricket. Its an amazing device!
As for a new hardware version... take the existing model, add 1-8Gig of flash ram (internally) and enable a system for digital distribution/download of multiple games straight to the device (via WiFi) - no cart required. This is very do-able, and would be incredibly awesome (IMO). Maybe an E3 announcement in 12 months time... :)
(and then allow this to happen via a Wii as the download point...)
