It could be 100 things... but here is my guess:

A new handheld ("GameBoy Cubed"?) - the long rumoured handheld that will play GC games. Disc based, if its true - hopefully will play GC discs directly. If true, it would kill the PSP forever.

...

wait wait, so you want nintendo to copy the Sony route even though the DS is beating the PSP? releasing that kind of a hand held would be retarded right now.

Why would they even go for that? The DS is the way to go for Nintendo not copying the PSP way right now...

I don't know if I would want Nintendo to take that route. The only reason I mention it, is because I have been hearing rumours for at least 2 years now that they have a "portable" GameCube.

I still doubt they would want to, but they could release a PSP-type device without killing the DS (I think...). It would have to use some disc based media - hence GC discs would be perfect (I think they are small enough). Whether the control scheme is feasible... I have no idea.

And it wouldn't be copying the PSP - I think a portable GC would make a lot of sense in its own right.

Only other thing I can think of, is similar to what appeared in another thread today - some new form of the Wiimote, maybe a VoIP phone or microphone, or even a mobile game player (surely they couldn't build a DS into a Wiimote could they?).

All I know, is that I'm more eagerly waiting for E3 - and hope that Nintendo have some nice bombshell to drop.

(PS - Sony will probably reveal the revamped PSP as well this year?).
