Yea but that's done rather often. Just people preparing for potential breaks. Guess that's kind a hint right there, that maybe the next Nintendo console might have something along similar lines. Kinda got me excited with this whole 3DS thing because the next generation has just officially opened. Not started, because it hasn't released, but the flood gates have opened.

Handhelds have nothing to do with different gens. They are there own thing. Nintendo would still be using regular gameboys if not for other companies pushing them.

Which makes no sense to anything I just said in that.  People that look at gaming divide it up into generations.  First handheld generation didn't start til the 4th gaming generation.  Generations for gaming don't exist, just eras in history don't exist, but we do it this way for easy reference and everyone will know what we are talking about.  But handhelds, because they are in gaming, are included. 

And no your last sentence is silly.  Why would a company continue to sell a product, let it saturate, and make less money when they could release another product that succeeds the old one, and sell that to the same customers again along with potential new ones?.... Exactly.
