Iwata spricht über den DS-Nachfolger mit Bewegungssensorik

Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata, has shared some insight on the company's next handheld device with a Japanese newspaper.

Iwata refused to give out any hints regarding the DS's successor launch timeframe, but he revealed that it would need "highly detailed graphics, and it will be necessary to have a sensor with the ability to read the movements of people playing."

Earlier in 2009, Digital Foundry tech blog author Richard Leadbetter, has speculated that Nintendo would release a successor to the DS family in 2010. Leadbetter expected the new device to utilize NVIDIA's Tegra 2 chipset which would offer up to 4 times the performance of its predecessor.
