Right. Nintendo does not have to do anything yet except working on getting games sold and making games.
And really, why would Nintendo risk starting anew with a follow-up to DS, which means a large initial production cost before the process becomes more streamlined, a costly marketing push, starting from zero again and even competing with the older DS when DS is the best selling console of this generation and one of the highest selling consoles in history? Especially when Nintendo has just given DS even more life with DSi.
I think even announcing new DS hardware for next year could really hurt Nintendo. So logically I would say no new handheld announcement until at least next year.
With Wii, maybe they could do a DSi type of upgrade which might or might not include HD, HDD and 3D. But they don't have to do anything there either and a real follow-up to Wii would be really stupid right now.
But true, Nintendo has pressure on them to create new hardware and maybe being able to deploy it fast if in need. The future will tell what's up.
