| Wyrdness said: If the's any new platform it'll be a DS successor imo as with 125m units sold and the library it's obtained I wouldn't be surprised if they feel it's reached it's potential, it would also make sense for a new handheld to coincide with the rumoured new generation of Pokemon on the way. The will be no Wii Hd as that's not very cost efficient neither is increasing flash memory when they have an update to stream of SDHC cards, my guess is that the Wii's successor won't have a chance of showing up until 2012 earliest. |
Your post does not make a lot of sense. First the DS still has a lot of potential left. It just sold over 3 million units in December in the US at its current price point. Secondly, it's better to introduce a new Pokemon Gen to the current owners of the Hardware. This will allow the Pokemon company feedback as to whether or not gamers enjoyed the changes or not, it's less risky. Thirdly, the DSi XL has not been released in the west and wouldl actually boost the sales of the DS. A new model would mean developers and publishers would need to develop new software and more importantly it would be harder for Nintendo to sell the new hardware to consumers because the DS has been so successful that many people would not be willing to upgrade so soon.
Why would Nintendo announce a new hardware up grade at the GDC. They could announce new hardware at any point they wish. The DS was not announced at the GDC nor was the Wii. Why would they do it now? Why would Ubisoft be included in this mix? This all points to BS being perpetuated on the internet just for giggles.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
