What the hell is a 3DS?

Is it a continuance of the DS series or a replacement. They said it is a successor, right? That doesn't mean it's a standalone.

I mean, I don't think we will be tracking it seperately from the DS either, which would mean that it's still just a DS, right?

I have no clue what you're trying to say. A successor is not a "standalone"? PS PS2 PS3? Huh?
The second sentence makes no sense either... if it's a new system, it will be tracked separately. Is it a new system? That's up to Nintendo, not VGChartz.

I mean.. you know what "new system" means. New technology. CPU, GPU, everything. Comes along every 5 years or so. Games that weren't possible on the previous system.
DS, DS lite and DSi were the same, save for some additional gimmicks on the DSi (that were mostly unrelated to the actual gaming). From what we've heard, 3DS will Nintendo's next generation.
