I remember Nintendo once saying that the DS wasn't the successor to the Gameboy and that there was a strong possibility of a new Gameboy co-existing alongside the DS series, but this now seems unlikely. It's a shame because I loved the GBA because of quality games like Golden Sun and Advance Wars whereas I've found the DS to be overly gimmicky. I fell for it's early allure with Nintendogs but since then, I've gotten no long-lasting fun out of it. Elite Beat Agents was only entertaining for about half a day, for example.

I don't forsee anything different out of this new addition to the DS's technology. I already find it hard to believe that people went out and bought the DSi when the price was comparable to a PSP. So I wonder how much this 3DS will cost?
