Is the Game Boy dead?

So the Game Boy Advance is pretty much dead now, and the Nintendo DS is on top.
Nintendo promises that the DS is not replacing the Game Boy, but I have my doubts.

When will the next Game Boy be released!?

Soon I hope.

When the DS stops making money. Which is to say, never.

I can't see Nintendo releasing another Game Boy - the DS is a great platform for GBA games (I still play many GBA games on mine), and with the GameBoy Micro failing to take off, they're unlikely to try anything different.

I didn't know this! I don't really care that much about Portable gaming consoles anymore, I used to love them when I was young though.

I think the gameboy is pretty much dead, has been for a long time now

I think the game boy in its classic style is completely dead, yeah. Nintendo are too focused on innovation and new mechanics to go back to a standard gaming device I reckon.

The name, however, still catches people's eye, so I have no doubt the name GameBoy will be used, just not in its classic/colour/advance form.

its not kicking, get a ds.

they'll do a GB:DS. Mixing touch screen with monochromatic graphics.

I think a Nintendo DS 2 is more likely...

  What about the Game Boy Evolution they had planned?

what? of course it is dead!

I think the only reason why they said it wasn't dead, was because they didn't expect the DS to sell. So yeah, it's dead as hell.

It's definitely dead.

It game boy is gone forever.

I'm expecting a DS lite 2.0
they can keep it going for awhile

Well considering the Game Boy thing lasted for like 17 years, the DS era will be a long long road.

Say it with me now, GameBoy DS. They would have the mindshare/ brand recognition of both platforms. "GameBoy" would remind older gamers of the great times they had with "Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins" and "DS" would capture the younger more casual gamers memories of the bus ride with their "LiL' PUPPY PWNY PEN PALZ"...maybe I shouldn't post this so Ubisoft doesn't make this gem before I can. (Insert TM here.)

Wow.

I have seen people playing gameboy in public within the last year. Two years ago I saw a guy in a bar playing a Sega GameGear. Old handhelds never die.

Everything old is new again and the Gameboy is no exception to that.

Why?

Haha the first reaction to the necroed thread cracked me up.
