It's almost been 3 years since the 3DS was released, obviously Nintendo would have already started researching potential CPU and GPU vendors for it. Since they're going for a "unified architecture" for both their next handheld and console, they'll probably want to start this as soon as possible. Question is, will they introduce us to the 4th dimension with a 4DS?

OP says early 2013, so it would be 2 years since the 3DS was released.

Yes, but I said already started, as in started sometime ago, it's likely in progress. 

I still doubt it, assuming the 3DS has a lifespam similar to the DS its gonna be around for 7 years, starting development on the next handheld after 2 years seems kinda dumb since so many things can change in that time.
