Gizmodo reports (via Kotaku via Edge) that we could be seeing a new handheld gaming device from Nintendo by the end of the year. That'd be sweet, considering all the great new games coming out this holiday season.

We reached a spokesperson for Nintendo, though, who couldn't (or wouldn't) substantiate the rumor: He had "absolutely no confirmation on this." Not exactly a "no," so we're forced to wait and see.

Apparently, DS sales have taken a dive in Japan, despite being solid everywhere else in the world. With all the hacks out there currently for the DS (turning it into a phone, running the Mac OS just to name a couple, the platform has lots of potential.

I think they should do it. Although they won't make one untill ds sales start to slow down which won't happen for a while. Also, the DS touch screen was a great idea, but i think they should just take sony;s approach. I would definately buy a PSP like Nintendo handheld with some of my favorite console games on the go over a DS with a bunch of lame spin-offs and dissapointments. I ove my DS but the games for it simply arent good enough.
