DSi is actually getting DLC (Pretty sure it was announced for DQ IX).

More ambitious online for multiplayer-oriented games would be nice.

Ironacly the PSP has all that (save the last line) and it's losing against the DS ( 50 million against 100 million ). But the PSP did prove successful in some way so maybe it's not such a bad idea.

Better competition? The PSP is a gift form heaven as far as competition against Nintendo in handhelds go. Because the PSP is here, Nintendo didn't see lazily this gen for handhelds. Apple is there but the iPhone sucks as a gaming platform.

Actually, they have been focusing much more on the Wii, the third parties picked up the slack for the DS.

Nintendo hasn't released anything noteworthy in quite awhile. Hell, they've barely released anything in the past year -- definitely lazy.

They don't have to, I guess. Besides, this year comes Mario & Luigi 3 ^_^

True, although it's kind of an oddity to see Nintendo being outdone on their own unique platform.

Mario & RPG 3 will be awesome though. It would be even more awesome if it had a release date :(

that is kinda what you want though something that is so good that other people also want to be working on it and you are the sole person keeping it afloat

EDIT not to say that Nintendo being lazy about it is good though

Not sure, but I sure can't wait until handhelds are as powerful at the PS3. Man that's going to be nice.

It has half of the DS's sales and it sold more then the Wii, the 360 and the PS3. It's also close to surpass the GBA. Well ok it's about 10 millions away it's not really close but it's realistic to say that it'll surpass it. The PSP is just about the best competition to Nintendo in handhelds and has finally put an end to Nintendo's monopole. Now there's fierce competition on that ground and only great games will come out of it. So in the end, WE are the winners.
