I still think they'll try a tablet. I believe they could do pretty well with a dockable rig, but the timetable is rapidly shrinking (two years, at best). I think the 2DS was them dipping a toe in the water with the form factor. Take away that strip of plastic running through the middle and it's basically a really low-powered Fisher Price tablet already. They could slap a "new" NinTablet together for not much investment. The Hisense I bought at Wal-Mart was only $129, but it's pretty full-featured. It has the Tegra 3 internals of the 2012 N7 with added camera, microSD, and HDMI out. Nintendo will want absolute control of whatever they use for the OS, though, so it'll ending up being some half-assed jank like those old import Android tablets that didn't even have access to Google Play.
