NO DS REDESIGN FOR YOU
Apparently there are currently no plans on redesigning our WI-FI playin’, stylus touchin’, micro-phone talking, super sleek system that we call the Nintendo DS. This story comes from Gameindustrybiz.com. I’m not sure what to believe. Internet reports were abuzz last month with rumors of a redesign on the system but now reports are saying otherwise. I think it would be a good move on Nintendo’s part and with the success of the SP, we might in fact one day see something. As always, we will keep you updated on the latest!

I think that this is actually good news. A redesign of the Nintendo DS would be yet another opportunity for Nintendo to display their anti-Midas touch. Although Nintendo has the handheld gaming market cornered they have still shown many times over, how not to implement technologies. Just as one example, in Nintendo’s attempt to make a handheld gaming system with no moving parts, which is “the option that no one asked for”, they have given up the opportunity to produce an all inclusive portable handheld entertainment device. For a device like this consumers are forced to look at the Sony developed PSP and to a certain degree the often misguided Apple, who produced the wildly successful iPod. So in this one decision, Nintendo has placed themselves well within the intellectual box of technology and has shown that they can produce a product with no ability to grow and adapt to ever changing consumer demands.
Very interesting reading. Thanks.
Sincerely,
