speaking of making the DS the must have entertainment like the ipod,pc, etc. does anyone think that the successor to the DS will go the traditionally un-nintendo route and add new electronic features to it beyond gaming to make it THE handheld electronic device to have?? like still being an innovate gaming machine at heart but having a good sized hard drive with expanded online services from what the DS has, ability to download music/movies from the computer or just straight from the internet and have a voice chat thing with friends at anytime almost like a phone (and being able to write messages to friends at any time if it has another touch screen.... interesting. i doubt it since that is like something sony would do and not nintendo. but with the recent push for these super handheld devices that do everything and the fact that DS very well could hit 170-200 million when all is said and done in say like 6 years (which is when i think they should realease DS's successor, a couple years after the next gen consoles) its pretty hard to imagine something doing better than the DS. the technology would be there to make it so they could possibly do this for a not super expensive price (starting at $199) and be a gaming machine with features like a phone/ipod/movie player.
