next iPod as a game console?

Even though i don't have any Apple staff and is not in my plans to buy one. I like to speak about Apple, because is clear that is one of the few companies that have a clear business strategy and understanding of the market. Many others seem to be dedicated to throw products into the stores, with little previous thinking.

Tomorrow or in few days, a new iPod will be presented. As I discussed with an Apple fan friend, it cannot be a iPhone without the phone properties, because the customers won't find any incentives to buy the iPhone (a key product for Apple future). Then? What news characteristics would have the new iPod? I'm writing this post just because I guessed that it could be also portable game console, much like the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP. Let's see if I'm right. If not now, I'll be at some point in the future.
