Prof, the thing here is that you're thinking on this wrong - being backwards compatible with the DS and DSi doesn't mean that it's jsut a feature expansion on the DS. It's not. It's a standalone piece of hardware that (hopefully) will have games where the experience of 3D renderings is integral to gameplay.

It's not going to play DS games in 3D. They're not programmed to be layered in the way that the 3DS is apparently going to display games. It's going to play DS games, sure, but it will also play games developed specifically for this console (this will be the body of games bought for it, for obvious reasons) in 3D.

I mean, it's going to have a freaking analog stick. What the Hell is that doing on a DS?
