Title: How Long?
Post by: Macawmoses on September 27, 2008, 12:45:16 AM
The DS has been on top for a long time now, it's spawned a number of quality games, and a second version....but how long before it runs out of steam?

The DS sales were sloping a while ago, but the additions of new colors to the Lite have boosted sales, but that is a ploy that can be used only a handful of times.

The point is....how long can the DS sustain life, without failing? Furthermore, how long before we see Nintendo's next handheld?

I give it a year before the sales really slump (with only a few exciting games on the horizon), and 2 years before a new handheld. So, thoughts?

I'll give it until the Holiday Season of '09 before it dies.
