Ok, So to get this straight

  • No Next gen handheld until after 2010
  • Maybe a facelift of the DSLite

I really would like to see Nintendo segment their hand held market with 2 machines which both play DS games as follows

  1. Standard DS Lite
  2. DS Advanced; With larger screens, thinner design, better battery life, MP3 player as standard, and downloadable content from the Wii.
I do see a need for a machine to go more head 2 head with the PSP to slow their market growth. 30% of the handhelds this gen are the PSP, which means sony has made very good inroads in this area.
