Basically, a new shade of pink is being released on the DS, a couple of celebrities are shilling for it, and what not.
The point is, though, that DS sales are cooling off, and Nintendo announced a previously limited edition color coming out.
*Discuss drop in sales*
*Discuss Article*
Also, please note any DS colors you would like to see, I, personally, would love a red DS.
They made a red DS Phat.
Crap, I'm still waiting for Green. Pink sucks.
I don't have any comments to the drop in sales.
It looks exactly like the other one...
What's the difference besides the lack of Nintendogs?
I want a blue ds lite!
I bet you all know what color I'd like. *points at name*

bleh, it's just an awkward piece of shiny cheap plastic compared to the original DS. But if you insist...

this one always exists. Brain Age.
I wanted a blue ds lite, but the blue one was only in Japan (figures...)
Now I just want to see Wiis change color!
The DS is going on 4 years now isn't it? Isn't this typical of systems?
Anyway, eww, i'm tired of systems not being released in some sort of green. Stop being intercourse ing dicks when it comes to colors. Not everyone likes White, black, or pink.

And watch many Wii owners weep at the Black Wii, knowing full well they can't get it without starting over.
I want those freaking Colored Wiimotes now.
Could someone please upload a picture of it? I'm not able to access game related sites from work.

I'd personally go for a two-tone, or if possible to get at a good price, the gold Zelda one.
DS cooling off?
I think they rode the wave for long enough, keep making games and I think the Wii will tide Nintendo over for a good while.
I would go for a Black with Gold trim, or of course a blue.

It looks virtually the same as the other pink one, but a bit nicer.
@Hector: You may be right, but 400,000 units is still impressive.
More pink? :-\ Kinda...dumb, dontcha think? :D
Why not make a...pure yellow DS, or a Clear DS. (So you can see the inside and stuff :) )
What happened to creative colors like when Gameboy Colors came out?
I would like to see a Platinum DS Lite. ^_^

Or ones with more complex themes. (Like they do with the X-box 360) Like...a wooden DS, or a DS for your favorite football/baseball/basketball/hockey team. :D
I would LOVE a Green Bay Packers DS. ^_^

My sister has one. I touched it, and she stole my DS for a few hours. That thing is sacred.
I WANTWANTWANT!!!
Really, the GBC was amazing, but the DS sells incredibly, I guess they just don't want to mess with success.
That's pretty typical that the sales are dropping, the DS had a good run.
Yeah, that new shade of pink looks almost exactly like the first. I do agree that a green DS lite should be released, I think it'd look awesome. A purple one wouldn't be bad either.
I never bought a DS lite since my current DS works just fine. I never understood why the DS lite was so popular, it's just like the original. It wasn't like the GBA and the GBA SP where the SP was an improvement with the light-up screen.

Well, it would LOOK wooden. :-\ It would be plastic or whatever they make DS's out of though.
My sister has the red DS lite.
I still have a bunch of DS games to finish, along with buying some GBA games for the summer. I totally missed that handheld gen, so my DS may get a lot more use. Unless I buy a micro. <3 Small devices
My brother just got the cobalt and black DS, and its actually pretty nice. :O
Really though, I think Nintendo should just leave the DS alone for now.
Its not like the end of system sales necessarily means the end of income from the DS.
And most sold system ever (Was stated at last E3 right) is pretty darn good.
If anything, work on some GOOD Wi-fi games if they really need sales.
I fully agree, wifi titles sell. Pay and Play would be awesome.

The only form of memory/RAM on DS carts is all used up by running/saving the game.
Paying to access online is still plausible, the server remembers you.
