The NXDS won't be that powerful if it means Nintendo would have to ditch their dual screen to do it.

I think the NXDS will be plenty powerful, still have dual screens, still have the clamshell, still have the 3D, and have the top screen have a clean 720p resolution to boot. All for $200-$250.

But I've already made an entire prediction thread about it. But a tablet handheld successor to the 3DS is 100% never happening.

If Nintendo has any ounce of sanity left, they won't release a handheld for 250$ again...

Price was not the only issue 3DS had, poor marketing along with post-launch drought played a huge part as well.

Initially many people thought 3DS was nothing more than a DS revision with 3D screens and the only big title to release for 3DS from April to October of 2011 was Ocarina of Time 3D, a remaster of a 13 year old game.

3DS would have been much better off if there was no consumer confusion and it had a steady stream of solid releases post-launch even with a $250 price tag. I do think it would wise for Nintendo to stay sub-$200 for handhelds though.
