Remember the DSXL is coming too but with the news of a Nvidia chip (which is the same type of chip that the PS3 has) for Nintendo's next Handheld It's safe to say that sometime in the year 2010 they'll announce it's predecessor.

They'll annouce its successor. The GBA is its predecessor. :P

Nah, the DS will be going strong until at least 2012. It's a very strong system, and they're just getting started with DSiWare. The possibilities of their next handheld boggle me; what more can they do? O_o
Also, the idea of F-Zero DS gives me tingly feelings.
I think there is life left in this system yet. The DS has a huge fan base world wide due to its innovative design and it's huge game libary that is considerably larger than that of its main rival, the PSP. Not only has it currently out sold the PSP by 57.58 millon units so far, the DS is also much easier and cheaper to develop games for than the Sony system. As a result, many developers will continue to make single platform games for the DS to save money and time. Onto the matter of what games could be released for the system, just think of this. Many people thought at the beginning of this year that the Playstation2 was dying, that support for the system dimishing. To be honest, you could see why that thought was in peoples minds. Virtually all the top developers had stopped producing for the consle and had moved onto the next generation Playstation3. Even smaller developers didn't seem to be bothered about supporting the console either. But then BAM! Suddenly several big name games are announced for the system, to be released in 2010. So keep that in mind. I reckon the DS is probably having it's mid-life crisis, but things will almost certainly pick up for it again, dont you worry! ;)

More features, more graphical power and a potentially improved online infrastructure. Sounds good to me!
ds will still be alive till 2012(just like gba was still going to 2007 even though ds came out in 2004), but i expect a new handheld next fall with ds backward compatability. nintendo will keep 2 handhelds on the market till ds slowly fades away just like gba did. comon :P ds has gone through 3 revisions so far through these going on 6 years now. if your just now getting one where have you been? dont tell me it cost too much :P you could have bought a used ds lite for 80$ they are like tanks they will work.
on topic:
nintendo has a lot of ip's they havent even tapped into metroid dread was never confirmed canceled but a lot of people know there still working on another metroid.
what the heck is the smash bros people doing now :P sitting on a couch watching the $$ flow in from brawl. i think nintendo will have a large e3 next year especially since the last 2 were eh
Nintendo is good at milking their first party games so i'm sure they will keep releasing more re-hashed junk. I only like a handful of titles on the DS and none are first party.
