New ds

According to Bloomberg Japan, Enterbrain (Famitsu's parent company) honcho Hirokazu Hamamura has said that Nintendo might unveil a new DS model at E3 2008. While Ash is asleep and our Google Translate only takes us so far, there doesn't appear to be any other information of note other than Nintendo declining to comment on the rumor.

Since it took about two years for the DS to become the DS Lite, the timeline for the DS Lite to become the DS Liter seems right on track. What would you like to see in the updated handheld if Hamamura's prediction comes to fruition?

Sony's PSP came in third with 26,358 units sold, whilst the PS2 with 11,814 units is still managing to sell more than its big brother, the PS3 with 8,998. The Xbox 360 as per usual trailed in last with 2,219...more

Japanese Chart for Week Ending 13th May 2007 DS(181,620)Wii(66,657)Ps3(8,872)360(2,293)
The 360 even with less than half the units of the PS3, it still has more software sold.
Thats a pretty amazing stat if you look at it.The PS3 is managing just over 1 game a unit! Let me repeat...1 game a unit in Japan!!! That is a big RED flag for Sony!
