"What if"s are nice, but not usually very likely... sorry.
But you're right, even though Rare did want the change, even so some people left, and it left them hurting... I mean, all they've done is make one mediocre new game! ONE! Okay, they also finished three projects that they'd started before being bought (for GBA -- and one of them a remake), and finished a port, and did another port, and a remake, and are currently working on two games that have been in progress for a long time... but, ah... can we just agree that Rare has been lacking for some time now? :)
This/these potential DS game(s) will actually be the first NEW handheld games Rare has made since leaving Nintendo, since their other five were four titles they started before leaving and one that's a port. I wasn't sure if they would continue handheld development after finishing those games (and DKCIII of course), and it's interesting to see that they will... but it does leave me wondering, as I said earlier, if Microsoft will also do any PSP development.
