So what do you think?

Personally I think they're going to have 2 screens, but I dont know if both will be touch screens. Could be nice...

BTW, the question might seem silly/the answer obvious, but people are having lengthy discussions on IRC about it

Seeing as it is being called "3DS", I'd probably say 2 screens. Two touch screens would be nice, but I don't know whether Ninty would do that...

It's definitely going to have 2 screens and any idiot with half a brain stem could tell you the same. Whether it has two touch screens is not something anyone can really make a call on. It makes a little sense, but it would be nigh on impossible to make effective use of both screens.

I remember reading that it WILL have 2 screens, however what's seperating both screens will be very small so they are almost connected giving the option for 2 or 1 screen gameplay, so having both of them touch screen is not a stretch...

DS = Dual Screen

3DS = 3D Dual Screen

It's a play on words. Ever watch Wheel of Fortune? It's a Before&After. "Alexander the Greatful Dead" "Blaster Masterpiece Theatre" etc.

Two touchscreens and that is based on the rumour that they can act as one big screen which I reckon will be slide-able so that the camera on some DSi Enhance games can be used...unless Nintendo won't support that in those games.

It's guaranteed to have at least 2 screens. It has DS compatibility, and I'm pretty sure Sony already copyrighted their flexible screens.
