As I got older I turned to PC gaming (Age of Empires, Civilizations, C & Cs, and puzzle games). Now I use a Wii mostly when other people are around and play a lot of flash games if I am bored. Although, I do rent a few single player games and may buy some used as time goes on. I recommend getting a new minigame this year. Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 all come out this year and the majority of people that like Wii Sports should enjoy at least 1 of these games. Also, if you really want bang for your buck you may be able to find Gamecube (or PS2 or even Xbox) collections of 90s games for under $10. I bought a few such collections and am very happy with them (Midway, Sega...)

I bought 2 games for my GBA in the last year (none the year before) and enjoy using it when I travel. For example, I'm gonna be in the car for 6 hours one day next month and I will be taking it. I'll likely buy a new iPod next Christmas, sell my GBA, and buy a few games for the iPod (it already comes with 3) and never get a DS or PSP. I don't really know anyone that has turned to handheld as they got older, maybe people 30+ do that when they buy a DS for Brain Age.

You sound like you are becoming more relaxed in your gaming so it seems that a DS is more for you. Also, since there are so many copies of some of the games out there, you can get tons of used games on the DS for very little so if you get bored with a game it is not a big deal.
