I posted this in the Wii U thread, but thought I make a topic out of it. Seeing pictures of the Wii U tablet makes me wonder if Nintendo is not only doing something different with home consoles but also experimenting for a 3DS' successor.
Having a Vita, it kind of feels like a tablet with buttons + two analog sticks. As for the 3DS, I realize that other than playing my collection of old DS games, the bottom touch screen really isn't needed anymore.
I think Nintendo's next handheld will be a high-res tablet with buttons. Knowing Nintendo it'll probably be behind the current tech, but by that time I'm sure it'll still be powerful maybe more powerful than the Vita. I think it's a no-brainer that this is the direction Nintendo will be going. Although I'm worried about backwards compatibility with 3DS games, I just don't see Nintendo making another dual screen handheld for their next one.
Also, I think it'll happen much sooner than we think. I don't think the 3DS will have the same life cycle as the DS had.
