Wii and DS will both be retired as brands this generation.

Even DS = old, dated compared to the iPhone/Galaxy/etc. brands.

DS/Wii are "cool" like Blackberry and MySpace are cool ... as in stuff that was cutting edge -- in 2006.

Nintendo badly needs a brand refresh, it's a new decade (well into it anyway) even though decades don't seem to be as distinct these days.

I don't even think the next Nintendo portable will even have dual screens (waste of money/battery life, general public has overwhemingly voted that they prefer single screen multitouch devices, etc. etc.).
