Nintendo DS +? 2? Next? Why?
Nikkei is reporting that a new DS, with bigger screen, media playback and a camera will be released in Japan this year. As a technophile, I'm curious about this new gadget but... why announce it now?
The DS is incredibly successful, and even though the sales in Japan are lower than previous year, Nintendo keeps pumping the portable into that market week after week in spite of its huge installed base.
Maybe Nintendo can see that the saturation point is looming and the PSP has seen a surge in sales thanks to games like Monster Hunter. Maybe it is a reaction of the success of Apple's App Store and the iphone.
Even if it comes out to light that all of the above is true, I'm sure that Nintendo will find a way to make it very successful, very cheap to produce and very accessible to the "non-gamers".
update: what if this came out on the same day of Nintendogs 2? Then it would be a whole different story...
Todo terminó en el Nintendo DSi, qué te parece?
