  DS model change may be announced next year according to analyst 
  

 Believe it or not, it’s been only about six months since the Nintendo DSi made its worldwide debut. There’s still a ways to go before a DSi-exclusive games come out and DSiWare has yet to reach its full potential. Considering these facts, it would seem a bit odd to make a prediction about another handheld release. 

However, Soichiro Fukuda, an analyst at Citigroup in Tokyo, believes that a DS model change may make its first appearance next June. Presently, the DSi is experiencing continued success in the market and by June 2010, the system will only have been out for a little more than a year. Would Nintendo really be willing to show off its next handheld when the time comes? 

 
 Nintendo Shares Gain After Citigroup Raises Rating (Update1)  

   Oct. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Nintendo Co. rose the most in 10 months in Osaka trading after Citigroup Inc. boosted its investment rating on the maker of the Wii game console, citing the company’s prospects for an earnings recovery.

Nintendo gained 6.7 percent to 23,800 yen as of the 11 a.m. trading break on the Osaka Securities Exchange, the biggest advance since Nov. 27. The benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average added 0.6 percent.

Soichiro Fukuda, an analyst at Citigroup in Tokyo, raised the rating to “buy” from “hold,” and increased the price estimate for Kyoto-based Nintendo’s shares to 30,000 yen from 29,000 yen.

“Bad news will be exhausted with a large downward revision” of Nintendo’s earnings forecast for the year ending March 2010, Fukuda wrote in his report dated yesterday. He expects such a revision to come soon, according to the report.

I'm waiting for the new Gameboy still, I still believe Nintendo will release a new one. It will be more like the PSP, but with a touch screen and feature lots of multimedia utilities.
 
On a more serious note though, this is why I held off buying a DSi. I'd rather wait for Nintendo's next handheld. Personally, I didn't think spending another £140 on a DSi was worth it.

I cannot see it happening anythime soon, not a new DS anyway. The Gameboy on the other hand is another matter. There's no way Nintendo will ever let that equally awesome brand die. The Gameboy brand still resonates strongly today.

I remember creating a thread on Cubed about the very subject of the Gameboy returning. I recall posting video footage of Miyamoto saying there were no plans to release one. That was two years ago now...I would dig up that thread if I could remember the title. I do remember it being a very funny video because of a comment Miyamoto makes at the end. I think it was a 1up video. "

I'll have to try and hunt that down Linkyshinks, thanks for bringing it up.
 
I still believe that Nintendo will bring out the new Gameboy in the future, I have done since the 3rd pillar comment was made (the one that Oldschool mentioned).
