So I was wondering what every ones thoughts are on Nintendos next hand held  (the successor to the DS).

No one can dismiss Nintendos domination in the hand held market, however Sonys PSP has done a good job in taking market share away from Nintendo in an area where sony hadnt ventured before.

Over the last 6-8 months the PSP has increase its sales volume and has showed some good sales numbers over the second half of 2007 (the games sales are another matter).

Also Nintendo has seen a huge demand for the DS, and over the Christmas period was sold out in many regions.

What should Nintendo do increase and continue their domination in the hand held market?

Could it be to Nintendo's advantage to release the DS Advanced this year at a higher price point while still promoting the DS? (Similar to the fan boy pictures we have seen on the Internet, higher spec processor etc, MP3 player built in, completely backwards compatible with the DS games and with GBA support)

So basically im asking

  • When would be the best time for Nintendo to release this new console??
  • What should Nintendo do increase and continue their domination in the hand held market?
  • What should be the new features of this Handheld?
