Just get it released sometime soon Iwata. My six-year old DS recently broke and I can't go too long without grinding Pokemans.
In my opinion having "Highly Detailed graphics" is eliminating why the DS was so popular for developers.
The DS was so popular because it was cheap and easy to make games for it. But if you add in more horse power and detail people are going to expect that from it. So developers will not be able to get away with DS 1 looking games on the new hand held.
This will probably lead to less support. Look at the PSP. It's a great system with tons of great games. But if you compare the amount of games coming out on DS compared to PSP(more so when the two first came out) it really is night and day. The reason for that is because making a PSP game is pretty much the same as making a PS2 game as the capabilities are so close.

Ugh, more motion control? can't they figure out to put dual widescreen touchscreens? analog sticks? games that actually use the camera?
There goes my hope of a new Game Boy. Oh well guess I'll just have to wait a little longer until everyone gets tired of waggle and touch-screen.
Y'know, I was sure Nintendo suggested, when they were marketing the DSi, that there would be DSi exclusive games that would benefit from it's beefed up specs and whatnot. It's the first console I've ever bought at launch, and I feel a bit chinned that they're effectively touting a new console already. And is anyone still excited by motion control?
Another issue is backwards compatibility. Nintendo used to be so good about that. I didn't get a DSi because it can't play Game Boy Advance games. I was sad that the Game Boy slot on the DS and DS Light couldn't play original GB games (same number of connection pins as GBA, right?) GBA could play GB Color and GB games (and remember Game Boy Pocket? "Play it Loud" Game Boys?). . . I still have a bunch of my original Game Boy games, and they work perfectly. Man, my Tetris is what, 21 years old this year?
So hopefully, whatever's next can at least still play old DS games. And yeah, I have yet to see games that only work for DSi, so there's no reason to get one. Everything else under the sun already has cameras in it, and I don't care about that feature. And the DS and DS Light can already connect to the Net to download stuff, although not entire games.
