I'm looking at Nintendo's 3DS really sad 77k 3DS sales for this past month in the US ... man that's just not good, not with the New 3DS still being somewhat recently released. Maybe it is time for a more drastic design change?
Maybe they should just go balls to the wall with the hybrid concept. It would be unique and different from anything else on the market at least.
Slap a massive 43 wH battery into a design that's like a oversized DS/3DS meets a mini-laptop I guess. This is the battery that was in the 4th gen iPad, it's not terribly expensive, but it is big, so it ain't fitting into a 3DS XL size casing.
But now you can go with a 9-10 watt processor, lets say AMD/Nintendo can bump up a little to about 55 GFLOPS/watt (slightly better than the Carrizo). 550 GFLOPS on battery power, maybe say even 800 GFLOPS when plugged into the wall (home play).
Optional HDMI wireless receiver for the TV sold seperately, it can stream right to the television wirelessly.
Let iPhone games cover the need for low-market gamers, keep the N3DS around in stores for a few more years too. Even $299.99 I think is reasonable for a product that can function as both a portable and home console.
