[Now Playing| Wario Ware - DS]

The internet is ablaze with the idea that Nintendo may release the next iteration of the Gameboy this year. Poppycock, I say.
First of all, no matter how much Nintendo says the DS is the third pillar, I still bet they dont want to shoot the system in the foot this early in its lifecycle. Give it awhile to establish a user base and some games.
Secondly, the DS just rolled out in Europe. Do you think people over there suddenly want to hear that there is a new system on the way?
Third, this would say nothing good to developers. ‘Hey look at our new innovative DS, please make some games for it. Oh, and here comes our newest Gameboy, dont forget about that either.’
Finally, this speculation is from a CNN Money analyst. What do they know about gaming?

UPDATE: Take a look at this article at Spong (the gaming equivalent of a tabloid paper). Im just going to say, if this does turn out to be true, which I doubt, I will be…I dont know. I guess Ill be a little pissed. Of course, if they can continue to make easy to pick-up-and-play games for the DS, Ill be fine. More as it breaks.
