By 2 years the fabrication cost difference of HD vs SD will be near to 0. In these 3 years, the fabrication cost of the Wii didn`t fall like the cost to make a PS3.

It`s like a 40Gb 3,5" HDD. It`s basically the same price to make than a 120gb. This is why Sony is using 120gb in the Slim.

I have a better question:

Will Nintendo ever release a DS successor?

Yes, there is an article from a few months ago, they picked some sort of CHip or processor for the Ds's successor

It would be silly, since higher processing (etc.) will not be as expensive, they may as well. However, I don't think it would be a huge deal if they didn't, but it would be better if they do only because of the declining costs of tech.

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Epic meltdowns would be had.

And it would probably either have a lot of wasted potential, in terms of graphics, or cost like 50$.
