Determining the future of Nintendo's Game Boy

[chemical]

I found it odd the gameboy advance even gets new games, DS is the the new gameboy, just without that name (and thank god, its too cool to be called "GameBoy") Eventually GBA will phaise out and it will be all DS focused, alot like how Gameboy eventually dissapeared and all new games has the "only for GBC" symbol, and like when GBC dissapeared eventually and it was just GBA, its the same hear, and the same thing will happen to DS once a new handheld appears.

As an owner of a Gameboy Pocket, 2 SPs and a Gameboy Player (for the Gamecube), I say it's time to move on. The DS is the obvious successor, even if it doesn't use the name.

I understand that some people prefer backwards compatibility, but that just adds cost to the hardware. I never liked putting a regular GB cart in the SP, the thing stuck out like a sore thumb.

I'm waiting for a DS 'extra-lite' that completely excludes the GBA and then I'll buy it.
