New 'larger screened' Nintendo DS revealed

A games industry analyst claims that Nintendo has completed work on a revised DS handheld, but will hold off from launching it until sales of the current DS begin to slide.

Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson told Gamespot: "Our contacts indicate that a refreshed DS is complete.

"It is thinner, has no Game Boy Advance port, has on-board storage and larger screens. However, we do not expect a revamped Wii or DS until sales begin to tail off in all three major geographies."

However, with the current Nintendo DS currently selling exceptionally well across the world, including the UK where it is currently Britain's best-selling games system, it could be a while before Nintendo unleashes any updated machine onto the market.
