ninty has already filled many patents for stuff like that motion sensing gameboy phone, etc they have already made a processor equivalent to the Cube's but meant for a hand held that means a theoritical 485mhz CPU for the next nintendo DS that sounds awesome but what could be even better is if they graduate from cartridges to using dual layered GCN 3.0gb discs i really dont think sony has a card to play against this. by the time this theoritically happens the DS lite might be 50, maybe 60 million units ahead of the psp, so why try again? do u think the psp will eventually go the way of the gamegear, or more of the walkman(still around but ipods,zunes,creatives, and san disks are loads more popular)
yeah i don;t see nintendo going with any MORE screens, and there suckers for BC so the next one might end up being a DS.2.0 like advance was to colourdarkspineslayer
the gameboy colour was garbage as far as im concerned what a disapointment
Personally, i dont see nintendo going with any disc-base format. Quick loading times are critical for a handheld, and most disk based formats dont do a good job with that. Disc also eat up batteries like crazy.
Gamecube graphics would be nice. It would be funny if it ended up having better graphics than the wii.
I think it will either have 2 touch screens, or just one screen only, meaning, they have to change the name.

Yeah, optical discs aren't a step foward but a step back IMO. A lot more storage space is only needed for CGI cutscenes and I am OK without that many of them. I predict an even brighter screen with a higher resolution and probely a tilt sensor of some sort.
The DS is a major success but I dont think nintendo is going to go with two screens again, its not their style to do something again just because it works, I think they will change, maybe even revolutionize handhelds AGAIN. I would love for them to pick up the gameboy line again With the GBA2, one screen, gcube graphics, wifi, itll be awesome!
I think they should use the GC disks, I mean think about it, the disks for GC weren't big, if they gave it a sucky in disk slot thingy, then that'd stop problems that the PSP disk tray had, plus all the extra stuff you can fit on those disks.

it will be the ds but with majow graphical boost-they have made enough money now so they can lower the price...they will not profit at first but will after millions of sales...same formula for the wii
they will make it bc with cube games, now that would be sweet, but like it was mentioned earlyer, i think nintendo will stick with cartridges because they like haveing batery life with handhelds

I'm not sure about that. The Gamecube controller has two analog sticks, one D-pad, four face buttons, two triggers, and a shoulder button. Adding all that crap to a handheld would be overkill. Plus, it would defeat the purpose of having touchscreen technology.
I agree with the DVD thing. Considering the pace at which flash drive technology is advancing, a DVD/Mini DVD for a handled is not a good idea.
I wouldn't want to carry around small disks with me everywhere due to that fact that they can snap or scratch. With that being said I did accidentally snap a DS game trying to put it in the DS. :)
but what could be even better is if they graduate from cartridges to using dual layered GCN 3.0gb discsdarth-pyschosis
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Flash/RAND memory is so cheap to produce now, they could manufacture carts that are a couple of Gbyte easy peasy, Nintendo DS carts are only 128mb /1 Gigabit.
If nintendo could Keep a similar design to the DS but increase the main CPU speed to about 300-400mhz, up the memory from the 4mb it has to about 32 or 64mb, double the screen resolution and make both screens touch screen.
An internal SD memory card slot that takes SDHC cards would be awesome, as you could probably have 16-32gb storage cards pretty cheap by then, a decent inbuilt multimedia function wouldnt go amiss either, IE Web browser inbuilt, organizer, mp3 player, videoplayer ect.
Backwards compatability with DS games would be sweet too.
