I doubt it'll be their last try.  They've been faltering quite a bit lately in many areas, but not in the revenue/profit dept.

They'd probably have to totally eat mud for two more console generations before they even considered exiting the hardware market.

That said, this mystery dual-screen device doesn't sound very appealing.  I suppose I'll reserve judgement, but I don't expect much from it.  Sounds super gimmicky like the Virtual Boy (which they recovered just fine from).

jerryjanis:
It would be pretty neat if the idea of stereoscopic 3d gaming is somehow involved in the idea (a la Virtual Boy, I guess).

dommer:
It's absurd that they continue to produce hardware.  It's not their core competency, they have to go to IBM and ATi to design hardware for them to slap their names on and lose money on.  Back in the day when they controlled the production of carts, and charged insane licensing fees, it made sense.  Now all you get as the hardware supplier is a big gamble and a huge out of pocket expense when the system first hits.  They should stick with what they're good at... software.

TalkingOctopus:
I think that the gameboy advance sp is a pretty slick piece of hardware.  However, the original gameboy advance was horrible because the only way to see the screen was to go outside and play in the bright sunlight!
