Oh dear. Turns out that it wasn't quite what we expected:

No new DS coming this year, folks.

That's what they said about ds lite also, if i remember right. : p
but i'm pretty sure that they're not doing new ds model.

Yep. In the days up to the announcement of the DS Lite the Nintendo of Europe president kept denying there was a new DS on the way. I don't trust anything Nintendo says on the situation now, however it seems likely this whole thing is just 'speculation' from the CoroCoro guy. Just his own speculation, not built on any strong foundation.

I seriously do not think Nintendo is going to release a new DS in 2008.

They haven't milk dry consumers of the profitability of DS as so...

DS came out in 2006 (if i remember correctly..), i guess 2009 will be a year more likely they'd release new DS...

It was released in 2004.

So this would realy fit in with ninty's 2 year plan now wouldn't it?

 

[perimbean]

Sorry, i think i got the numbers wrong..

DS phat in 2004, DS-Lite in 2006. And DS-new gen in 2009?

Next DS model this year would probably fit with Nintendo's plan. Eg: incase you hadn't noticed they blatantly stole Apple's product plan since it seemed to work for them. New models with incremental improvement every few years.

But the only thing holding them back would be production. if they still can't product enough DS Lites for the market then making another production line for a new range of DS's would be a nightmare.

Very true.
