@ the prof

why dont you think there will be a new DS?

Yes.  Too many possibilities to begin speculation yet.  How the rest of this generation plays out, the market situation, retail, digital distribution situation, etc...will help determine what those changes are.

you mean besides the dsi?

1. Do you expect any new company to enter the "console wars"?

no

2. Do you expect any current competitor, to totally withdraw from the next generation?

maybe sony

3. Do you expect any major change in the companies approach, reception, and position?

more casual titles ?

I think Handhelds are going to get at least one extra company in on the action.

Consoles. well i think it will be just the big 3 again

Can't wait for an Apple console lol
and byebye sony

I don't really envision too much changing. Viper is right that another entry is unlikely as you simply can't split the market that much. It's bad enough making games for two types of consoles, if they had to do a third, it would be too much work.

1. Do you expect any new company to enter the "console wars"?

- No chance.


2. Do you expect any current competitor, to totally withdraw from the next generation?

- No chance.

3. Do you expect any major change in the companies approach, reception, and position?
