I think that the new DS works well, but I'm not holding my breath for Xbox 360 support.
Last year's DS ran Linux. Linux has support for Xbox 360 drivers (I use 360 controllers under linux fairly often). Last year's DS didn't have 360 support. So, even though the DS was capable of supporting 360 controllers, it didn't. If this year's DS runs Linux, it'll be in exactly the same boat. Capable of supporting them, but not required.
On a separate note, I'm hoping that they enable Force Feedback on the joysticks. For example, it would have been useful to use force feedback to tell when the wheels were slipping, or the hopper was jammed, or use a force feedback steering wheel and have it tell the driver something about how easy it is to turn, or ... The possibilities are endless.
