With the NGP I don't think it is too big of a problem. The device could instantly be picked out next to a PSP as the newer model or atleast different. The 3DS however only has differences that a fan would notice such as the 3D slider. Almost everyone that knows the 3DS is not just a new DS already knows if they want it or not. Everyone else that is the target of advertising will be confused.

Well and the analog nub....

I think the PSP could be on to something. With a codename 'NGP' and no matter what name is finalized (PSP2 probably lol) it would sound like a new system especially by showing off the touchscreen front and back...and other features etc. The thing with the DS is that it has had so many names with 'DS' for example DS lite, DSi, DSiXL...that many people would just see it as a new DS with 3D to make it 3DS. It would of been better if they had given it a completely new name. (just my thought)
