But with the big screen being a touch screen + having tilt/motion control.

Sorry but that design has major flaws. a portable device like that would be a problem to carry in any efficient way and the ergonomic features are severly lacking. This just shows that you should never listen to the customer because they don't know what they want, you need to show them what is it that they want.

I used to think that portability and ergonomy matters, at least it matters to me, thats why I enjoy the Go. But with the DS success, it doesnt seem like portability and ergonomy is a turn off for most person.

I doubt it, they probably want to work on it to be more portable like they did with the PSP Go, and having 2 screens would take away from more space for the essentials. What they really need is a huge battery that will let it last 10-12 hours, that would be awesome!

But you can stick a DS in your pocket, that you cant

However the DS has the caveat that you have a touchscreen and you don't have use your 2 hands to hold it with all games, just one, The games that really demand you to use the face buttons and dpad are a killer on my hands causing major cramping so I just avoid them or play them for 10-15 minutes and that's it. If you want to be a successful hardware iteration you need to improve not only on your own flaws but the flaws of your competition, the fact that the DS has ergonomy problems doesn't mean that it was one of the factors that made it a success, It means that the DS was a success in spite of that hinderance. If I want to take over their market I must create a product that is better in every posible way while still mantaining a competitive price point in relation to my competitors.

Why do you cant? I dont think this design is more than 6 inches high.

It's got to be about 50% taller than a PSP at the very least

Regular PSP is 2 inches and 3/4 tall.

I never said 6", but I wouldn't be able to fit a PSP and a half in my pocket

I would easily imagine this device being 6 inches large by 3.5 inches tall when close. Its a 16/9 screen after all. It could be just a bit bigger than the PSPgo. Not sure how you got the conclusion this product would be big. Did the person designing this, publish the dimension he would give it? If not you can zoom into a bactery and make it looks like its 12 inches * 12 inches, but its not the case.

Well, simply because the area with the PlayStation controls looks like it take up half the height of the device. In the PSP go, they are basically the height of the device. I know they could squeeze it down, which is why I went with the conservative estimate of 50% taller
