Don't make much sense to me neither... it's both uncreative and unnecessary.

OK, I guess? New fucntion but it sucks for the Christmas shoppers.

Yeah, I don't get it.

But I didn't get the DS or the Wii, and look where they are.

So I'll fake like I get it:

Awesome Idea Ninty.

Wii is a fad. DS is a fad. Third party games dont sell on Wii. PSP will kill the DS. DS will be the next Virtual Boy. New DS coming soon. New Wii coming soon. No more Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Smash Bros, etc. from Nintendo.

Who is being paid to spread all this FUD? *Looks at sales charts for Wii and DS despite all the FUD* Why do they even bother? The FUD seems to be having the opposite intended effect.

until nin says it i have to hold back, but two touch screens seem like the next step for that system as well as some storage memory and a camera

Two touch screen will never happen because its unplayable.

two touch screens won't happen unless it is DS2, as it would make all new games unplayable on DS and DSLite models.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Why would Nintendo do that? It makes no sense because it has the possibility to have new DS games unplayable on an older DS.

Maybe the DS2 will have dual touch screen, but never the DS.

Really why would you do that? The only way to get a benefit from it would be to lay the DS out book style and play with 2 stylus' and honestly that would make a VERY niche game.
