Big Kotaku article on rumors on the 3DS

My one issue with what the say is that the new screen is not touch sensitive 
the lower screen also needs work as in my view they realy need to improve the touch sensitivity and the ergonomics over the DS so that you can use your thumb 
on the bottom screen to control the top screen as if it were a Touchpad (hold the 3ds with your hands like a controller with your thumbs free.  You can't realy do that on the DS as the lower screen does not realy like anything but the stylus and the shape of the DS means while your holding it the amount of touch screen real estate you can get at with your thumb is small and it's uncomfortable

Stay away from Kotaku predictions. They are guaranteed to be wrong, and really ridiculous when you see the final product.

Kotaku rumours aren't worth the paper they would be written on if this wasn't the internet. They have also claimed that it would have graphics up to the standard of the Xbox 360/PS3, which I don't believe for one second

Well, in all fairness, that was IGN.

I'd like to know how it will fold if it has an analog stick.

I believe that the statement was actually more like the graphics will be "closer to" current generation consoles, not up to the standard. 
 
Saying closer to is very vague because even if it's just a tiny bit better than the DS graphics, it's still closer than before.

Yeah, but they also said closer than the Wii.

Dude, I trust Kotaku and their blog posts from anonymous Chinese bloggers. I totally trust them, like my own family... 
 
Why the fuck don't they, y'know, put a link to the actual blog?  especially when the guys at Kotaku do such a poor job of translating.
 
Kotaku = spectacular fail on journalism.
