In an interview with Reuters, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata says that there will be no more GameBoy’s for now, despite the success of GameBoy Advance. Instead, Nintendo will focus on the DS which has gained huge support from developers and consumers alike.
“I would have a second thought about using our resources on what would be the next generation of Game Boy Advance, considering the strong support DS is now enjoying.”
Nintendo has sold more tha 74 million GBAs, including the SP and Lite versions. He also says that are 16 million DS units sold.
“The Japanese game market is now evolving around DS. We don’t need to do something that will pour cold water on the situation.”
And of course Nintendo will spend most of its resources on the Wii, which has now 10 launch titles onfirmed.
