If you haven't noticed, we're currently sitting in the 7th generation of consoles/handhelds which consists of three main competitors, Sony (PS3, PSPgo), Microsoft (Xbox 360) and Nintendo (Wii, DSiXL).
However, the 8th generation is soon to start in 2011 with Nintendo releasing a confirmed successor to the DS ( I don't know why they do it, they just released the XL...) named the Nintendo 3DS. There is also another Nintendo console in progress that is designed to replace the Wii although no details have been released (the co-creator of Metroid tested it and said "It will leave your mouth open", so it's gotta be good right?).
Nintendo isn't alone in the 8th gen though, Sony is rumored to be working on a little thing called the PS2P (it's been rumored for a while now, being the subject of fan art and forum wars :p). As much attention it's been getting, Sony hasn't released anything about the hand-held (probably stingy because it'll give them a surprise value when it comes out).
Next to that electronics giant Panasonic has announced that it'll be releasing Jungle, a hand-held with MMO playing in mind (the result is a little laptop thing), marking it's first attempt at making a hand-held platform.
It is unknown if Microsoft will join in with a Xbox 720. Jokes.
So get ready for 2011, the start of the 8th generation.
