I reckon , by the time the gba has had it's day , which like the other gameboys could last years , we will be so advanced that the new screen will be able to be folded up from a tiny square which fits into it's own little case to a huge average sized pc screen , say 15-17 inches. then when it is unfolded it is so advanced that the creases just disapear into the screen itself like some fabric softeners can do with clothes. Then to play the game , like the wavebird controller for gc we have a separate controller which can either be attached to the screen for portable gameing or be held separate to the screen upi to 20 meters away , so you will have a home console and a portable console in one ! The graphics , because of the big screen would be in high res like the psone portable screens , and would be the equivelent to a top notch pc's graphics and speed when the thing comes out (which , if it ever does will be ace !!!) so in 2010 or whatever , the best pc you can buy at the time The Gameboy Xcell will be able to match or even improve on these graphics.
so like at e3 when the head of nintendo Mr yioroshima (or something like that) said he might scrap the gamecube if it wasn't a success at e3 , because he thinks that in the future gamers will get fed up with home consoles and so portable experiences like GBA etc will be more popular.

So back to my Gameboy Xcell (thats it's name) :
THe controller
It will be in the shape of something like thwe gamecubes , or one of nintendos cool designs.It will feature the two L and R buttons on top , the c buttons , a and b , the joystick , the d pad , an infared port , a battery compartment for a flat based watch battery which can run for upto 30 hours (by then i reckon this will be possible)


The screen

Will be 15-17 inches wide by 13-15 high. It will feature a crease disapearer thingy which means that when you fold or unfold the screen makes the creases disapear , but you can set it to leave the crease in for 6 player action , so you get a smaller screen each ! the graphics resolution will be the best of the best and the grpahics card will also be the best of the best. It will feature 6 infared ports for ultiamate gaming , when you buy the conrolers , when you get them home you can configure which infared transmitter , transmitts to which infared reciever so player 1 configures his / her infared transmitter to the same configuration of the plaer 1 reciver and so on.

The Games

They will be on really tiny discs smaller than the gc's mini discs and will hold 6 times as much data as the gc mini discs , because they are so small the loading times will nearly match that of a cartridge as it dosen't take much time at all for the laser to go over the disc and read it's info , so on the playstation the loading times are so long because the discs are so big (cd size) as the laser has the move a long way to get the info from one place to another. They should cost around £30 or well probably have been forced to use the euro by the so the price would be 49-50 euros. They may be less if the cost of technology decreases , or they may be more if supplies of plastic , oil and metal run low.

The cost

Like i said above the cost really depends on the avaliability of the natural resoures like oil needed for plastic and metal needed for electrical parts. But if these are stil avaliable then expect the price to be around the price of a home console £150 to £200 , considering the fact that the screen is very big and expensive , and then the controller which really dosent cost that much , so the main part of the deal is the screen , which holds the game drive , graphics stuff etc.

What does anyone else think ?

But if they DO call their next handheld console "GameBoy 3D", then what will they call the next one? That would also be in 3D, wouldn't it?

could be coz they always say it like it is ... nintendo 64 , 64 bit machine . gameboy color , gameboy whicbh is in color , gameboy advance , advanced gameboy . gameboy pocket , gameboy that is small and fits in your pocket , and of course the gameboy it self , a machine that you play games on.
