when do you think the DS will become obsolete and be replaced by something new?

how far down the line do you think the DS will be replaced with a new nintendo handheld system? by that time do you think the psp will be in control of handheld systems?

I don't think the DS is going anywhere anytime soon. Its still selling strong and still has plenty of awesome games.The PSP and the DS however are two different things. Sony is going for a portable console while Nintendo is going for the more casual gamer. The PSP will never dominate the handheld market. People just aren't taking to it. Nintendo is the handheld king and always has been. Besides with games like Ninja Gaiden and Pokemon coming to it, it'll be a long time before Nintendo replaces it.

I think the DS will last for a few more years, but will eventually be phased out by something new, like the GBA...although the GBA is still doing surprisingly well for some reason, so the DS could follow suit and have a very long life span.

As far as the PSP goes...meh, I couldn't care less

Well it's spose to come out in Q4 2008. But since the DS is doing so well it may come out a year or 2 latter. But well proubly see a new one at the latest at Q4 2010.

Fall of 2008 or 2009 in when we'll see the successor to the DS. After Zelda and Dragon Quest IX, I doubt we'll see many new big releases on the DS. Hopefully, something interesting is done with DS/Wii connectivity before then. I'd also like to see another New Super Mario Bros. game.

I personally think the DS will be the #1 system for handhelds for at least 10 years like its elder predecessor before it and the GBA the Gameboy. The DS is selling like hot cakes and was just updated by the ds lite so I don't think its going to be replaced anytime soon.
